THere is good use made of Hand-Granadoes in Assaults and Boarding of Ships ; these are made upon a Mould made with Twine, and covered over with Cartridge Paper and Musket Bullets cut in two, put with Past and bits of Paper thick on the out-side. After you have doubled the Shells, past on some at a time, and let it dry, and put some more until it be quite full ; then dip it in scalding Rossen or Pitch and hang it up and it is for your use : But you must have the innermost end of the Twine left out, and before you pitch it you must draw out the Twine and stop the hole, and then pitch it.

To load them, fill these Shells with Gun-Powder, then make a Fuze of one pound of Gun-Powder and six Ounces of Salt-Petre and one of Charcoal, and fill the Fuze; then knock it up to the head within one quarter of an inch, which is only to find it by night.

Stop the rest of the holes well with soft Wax ; your first Shells must be coated with Pitch and Hurds lest it should break with the fall ; and be sure when you have fired the Fuze, suddenly cast it out of your hand, and it will do good execution.
