Suddenly the orchestra leader raised his hand with a jerk. The bald man shut his eyes, pulled the lanyard. Boom went a 17-in. cannon. Boom, Boom, Boom it went again, each time almost knocking the little cannoneer off his feet. Sixteen rifles in the hands of 16 U. S. Coast Guardsmen and infantry fired a volley of 16 blank cartridges and the 1812 Overture of Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky crashed to its close with...
