They heard a distant report as the great projectile burst.

Slowly and more slowly moved the great projectile.

There was a trembling to the great projectile.

The great projectile was carefully lowered until its tip was flush with the volcano-like mouth of the cannon.

A moment later there dashed into the yard, where the great projectile rested, a strange figure astride of a puffing motorcycle.

Attacking fortifications from the sea, the vessel carrying this great projectile could operate at a distance beyond the reach of the magnetic shell.

The charge of powder was hoisted out of the bomb-proof chamber below the barbette, and then the great projectile was brought up in slings.

The great projectile was in readiness to be slung into the breech by means of the hoisting apparatus, for it weighed close to two tons.

Paper pellets make great projectiles -just ask any schoolkid.

The moral effect of those great projectiles launched from great distances by the immense German guns was considerable.

That terrible 96-pounder, serenely safe and out of range, was plumping its great projectiles into the masses of retiring troops.

The silence was only broken when the guns of the Sydney roared and great projectiles brought destruction to the Emden.
