iX € af | The British use the shortest rifle. It measures 3 feet 8.5 inches, and is five inches shorter than the rifie used until after the Boer war, which measured 4 feet 1.5 inches. The next shortest is the German rifle, which measures 4 feet 1.4 inches. The Austrian rifle is next, The British argument against the magazine was that the men should recharge their rifles after each shot until an emergency arose, and then they should draw on their ten shots in the magazine. But in recent years this order has been changed, and they work just as do the other riflemen. An argument made against the tube of the French rifle is that its halance is changed with each shot fired and that this has to be taken into consideration by the man using the gun. It is also much harder to load because the cartricdges are placed in and forced through the tube one by one, while with the other rifles as soon as a charger is emptied it is opened and another clip of cartridges inserted, to be operated in the same way as the first.

During these regular operations against the Spaniards, Drake seâ€" cured for his crews many thousands of pounds in the way of prize money and naturally had no difficulty in getting men for his voyages, a reâ€" mark which also applies to Lord Cochrane, afterwards the Earl of Dundonald, who, when in command of the thirtyâ€"eightâ€"gun frigate Palâ€" las was the dread of the French and Spanish mercantile marine.
