Abstract
MR. PIPER'S letter (NATURE, August 3) is interesting. My extended experience confirms his. When the great bombardment began I was staying at a farmhouse on high ground near Chilham, Kent. We heard the firing day and night during the two weeks, and I roughly calculated that three or four guns were fired per second. During almost all the time the wind was S.W., and often quite strong, yet this did not interfere with the sound if one was sheltered from the wind and away from rustling foliage.
