With a can opener he pried open the primer of the mine. Then he took ,n hummer nnd a chisel and knocked off the "horns." After un screWinj; a brass cap and some pul ley wheels, the two rolled the mine into the sea, filled it with water and screwed back the brass cap. As they lifted the mine into their cart lo take it home, a substance ro senihlinf; brown-tar trickled out. They didn't know it, but it was "T. N.
