Text Appearing Before Image:
Russians think they are better just as they are. We agreed with him that it was very natural a Frenchman shouldmake such a proposal and the Russians reject it. An amusing thing isthat some of the guns bear the names Invincible, Eagle, Conqueror,* Triumph, and the like, quite in mockery of their captive condition. Doctor Bronson said he was reminded of an incident that is said to MONSTER CANNON. 249 liave happened in an American navy-yard fifteen or twenty years after tliewar of 1812, between the United States and Great Britain. An Englishman was visiting the navy-yard, and while wanderingamong the cannon which lay peacefnlly in one of the parks, he found onewhich bore the British crown, with the stamp G. R. beneath it. Thestamp and crown told very plainly the history of the gun, but the Britonwas doubtful. Turning to a sailor who was standing near, he remarked, • Its easy enough to put that stamp on a gun of Yankee make. How long do you think it would take V • About half an hour.
Text Appearing After Image:
GREAT GUN AT MOSCOW. Well, replied the sailor, we took forty-four of those guns, with thestamps already on, in just seventeen minutes. * The stranger had no more conundrums to proj)ose. There are seven monster cannon in front of one of the arsenals inthe Kremlin that have probably never enjoyed the honor of being fired;certainly some of them would be likely to burst if filled with an ordinarycharge of powder. The smallest weighs four tons and tlie largest forty * Referring to the battle between the Constitution and Guerriere, August 19, 1812. 250 THE BOY TRAVELLEKS IN THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE.
