Where's your target?

Away there under that grey mass of rock. We've got to guess at the range as you know; then find it. I should judge the distance at about two miles--an extreme limit. Take my glass and you'll note a line of earthworks thrown up on this side of the stone. That is intended to represent a redoubt and we're going to shell it and slay the dummy men posted inside.

I can see without the glass. The rock is called Oke Tor, and I'm going to meet a man there this afternoon.

Good; then you'll be able to observe the results at close quarters. They'll surprise you. Now we are going to begin. Is your horse all right? He looks shifty, and the guns make a devil of a row.

Steady as time. He's smelt powder before to-day.
