The lump of rock salt had done the work of an explosive bullet.
With the rock drill the diver bores a number of holes to a given depth, inserts in these the charges of dynamite or other explosive used, attaches one end of a wire to a detonator which is inserted in the charge, and then comes to the surface.
Several outbreaks of an almost explosive character, besides minor extensions of disease from one place to another, have been traced to this cause.
The cars of the Ambulance Field Service rush through maelstroms of shrapnel and high explosive shells to succor the wounded, and then brave the same dangers to get them to the base hospitals in time to relieve their wounds.
When I saw one man who had been hit by a German dumdum or explosive bullet, I gritted my teeth.
But there was no uproarious jollity; on the contrary, it was a pleasant gathering of literary people and artists, who took their pleasure not sadly, but serenely, and I do not remember a singleexplosive guffaw.
The British had left four hundred men on the track of that gallant advance, but the vast majority of them were wounded--too often by those explosive or expansive missiles which make war more hideous.
A small stone shed in the possession of the British was the centre of the Boer fire, and it was within its walls that Ross of the Durhams was horribly wounded by an explosive ball, and that the brave Jerseyman, Le Gallais, was killed.
The length of their stay in the submarine will depend on the length of the fuse attached to the time explosive in the hold.
A gun or other explosive signal fired at intervals of about a minute.
The principal use to which the submarine vessel has thus far been turned has been that of a naval weapon, for scouting and for firing explosive automobile torpedoes, either for defensive or offensive purposes.
The warhead is the forward portion of the torpedo and contains usually wet gun-cotton, which is a safe high explosive and can be exploded only by a detonating charge of the more sensitive explosives.
Before the dense columns of dust and smoke could subside, our guns belched forth shrapnel and high-explosive shells, so as to prevent the enemy from sending up reinforcements.
Since his day wooden walls have been replaced by armour plate, and red-hot shot by high-explosive shells.
He ministered to no less than 300 men, but was at last flung down by the bursting of a high-explosive shell that killed several of his patients, wounded his assistant, and stunned him.
High-explosive shells and poison gas--these were the weapons which they believed would give them victory.
He told us that prior to the outbreak of hostilities the Russians had relied on Germany for most of their war material, and for all the chemicals which enabled them to manufacture high-explosive shells.
On the Donajetz River the Austrians broke the rules of war, and fired from their machine guns explosive bullets, which when they entered a man's body blew away half his back.
September the guns lifted their muzzles, and the high explosive shells rained a deluge of fire behind the first line of German defence.
Our high-explosive shells wrecked the first line trenches of the enemy, but unhappily did not do sufficient damage to the second line, and our men found themselves up against unbroken wire and unbreached parapets.
The bottom of the piston is particularly likely to retain grease which has become caked, and which is likely to become heated to incandescence and spontaneously to ignite the explosive mixture.
The explosivemixture is prepared in the water reservoir, the glass bulb shown in the accompanying illustration being employed.
The manner in which the suction of air is effected necessarily has as marked an influence on the operation of the engine as the supply of gas, since air and gas constitute the explosive mixture.
It is, however, important for the production of a good explosive mixture to regulate the amount of air supplied to the engine according to the quality of the gas employed.
Particularly is this true of automatic starters comprising a hand-pump by means of which an explosive mixture is compressed,--true because in the interests of safety great care must be taken.
It has been previously stated that premature or belated ignition of the explosive mixture appreciably lessens the amount of useful work performed by the expansion of the gas.
It may happen that in a badly regulated engine, unburnt gases may be discharged into this trough, forming an explosive mixture which will be ignited by the next explosion, causing considerable damage.
The amount of power developed depends principally on the degree of compression to which the explosive mixture is subjected.
The conical form of the bottom causes the calorimeter to be emptied rapidly and to be refilled completely with explosive gas at a pressure slightly above that of the atmosphere.
Defective compression, as a general rule, prevents the ignition of the explosive mixture.
The explosive mixture is then introduced, being fed from a bell in which it has previously been prepared.
They are caused by the accidental backward flowing of the explosive mixture, and by its ignition outside of the cylinder.
