That finished, hewould jump up and look out to sea overthe range, and then scamper downfrom the parapet and follow us into thebomb-proof.As usual, Bombshell was on hand tosee the test of the new big gun.IIe superintended the loading, and,while I was aiming the gun, he lookedover the range as carefully as did thelookout; and from his air of responsi-bility one might have supposed that tohim had been intrusted the duty ofseeing that the range was clear.But when we started for the bomb-proof, instead of following us, as washis custom, Bombshell remained on theparapet, looking out to sea and sniffingthe air. In a moment he dashed offthrough the bushes which covered thenarrow beach between the parapet amlthe sea.. Though thinking his actions peculiar,T was sure that he would not remain infront of the gun, because he had doneso ones, when quite young and inex-perienced, and the burning grains ofpowder"which are always thrown outby the blast of a gun"had buriedthemselves in his skin, burning himbadly. He had never forgotten this.Certain that he would take care ofhimself, I paid no further attention tohim, but went with the others into thebomb-proof, and took my place by theclectric key, ready to fire at the com-mand of the captain.Just as the command oFire� wasabout to be given, Bombshell reap-peared on the parapet and ~began tobark furiously into the very muzzle ofthe gun.I called to him, but he would notcome. Annoyed at the delay of the test,I tried to catch him, but could not daso. As J approached he retreated, stillbarking and apparently urging me tofollow hire.Finally, convinced from the dogTs ac-tions that something was wrong, the |electric wire was disconnected fromthe gun, and I followed Bombshell.Wagging his tail with joy at havingaccomplished his object, he led methrough the underbrush to the beach.There, concealed behind a clump ofbushes, were two little children quietlydigging in the sand and entirely uncon-scious of the danger in which they hadbeen."Lieut.
