Abstract
THE recent correspondence in the Times referring to the audibility of the reports at great distances induces me to record my experiences here. I have a garage, built of corrugated iron and lined with match-board. It stands on a concrete base, and the floor is cemented. Its dimensions are 20 ft. by 10 ft., by 15 ft. to the ridge. I can hear the sounds of the guns inside the building on days when they are inaudible outside. When audible outside they are considerably accentuated within.
