"The gun run is divided into three sections. The first section is called the ''run out''. The guns are pulled from the start line and manhandled over a five-foot "home wall". Wooden spars weighing 170lb are erected and wires rigged across a 28-foot "chasm". The first men are hauled across, then a pair each carrying a 120lb wheel for the gun carriage. The gun carriage and gun barrels (900lb) follow. The remainder of the gun carriages' wheels and limbers are pulled through a hole in the second wall, called the "enemy wall". Each gun crew then "engages" the enemy by firing three rounds. The stopwatch stops as the third round is fired.
