Remembering a bit of Great War action in the Faulklands. 1914. When another German liner mounted a muzzleloading siege mortar they mounted midship (found in old emplacement on the island) and shot Kerosene soaked Welsh anthracite onto the wooden deck of a British Cruiser. German captain was a big fan of Lord Admiral Nelson!
The story of Mimi and Toutou on Lake Tanganyika is another good one. (The Basis for Forrester’s novel, "The African Queen”.) Look it up.

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
