All the gunners were pouring up in dismay.<br><br>Something terrible had just happened.<br><br>One of the carronades of the battery, a twenty-four pounder, had broken loose.<br> COMMENTS: Visual Text This is the story of a cannon and on a ship which loses its moorings. And the crew fights to save themselves against the rolling ballistic. Who's responsible? It's a single incident. And would make an interesting song, or perhaps a 5-minute piece.
