Naval Gan Crews.

Each gun crew of a naval vessel consists of seven men besides the'captain of the turret, who has general charge. There are two guns in each turret, so that when in action there are in a turret fifteen men. At each gun there are a pointer, a trainer, a sight setter, a rammer man, a hoist man, a breech block man and a loader. Each has his station, and the seven men practically become part of tbe gun, working together like a machine.
