"that we had all- ed over 100 shells, and of the particular, 15in. shell already six had been filled-two on the pre- ceding day."
THE MIXING RESERVOIR

The reservoir was charg- ed with the explosive during the morning so that it would be ready for the filling in the afternioct. Apparently, for some reason un- known at present, the explosive had not travelled into the shell and there must have been some abnormality or obstructions which caused fiction. The five minutes during which the party were up- der cover should have been long enough to complete, the fitting.
