No Easter Salvoes From Fort Lytton.
The big naval guns at Fort Lutton will not fire the customary salvoes across the Bay on Easter Monday. Instead, there will be an artillery camp on May 20, probably on Moreton Island, when the trainees will have the privilege of firing the new big guns for the first time. Fort Lytton has not been abandoned, but this year the training for the heavy artillery units will not take place from there at Easter as usual but will be held later in the year. The new guns at Moreton Island have been mounted, and have been given the preliminary tests, but the actual firing will not take place until later in the year. The Moreton Island guns are larger than those at Lytton, which can throw a shell weighing 100lb. at least 10 miles.
