Did Baker mention that? I forget.
Absolutely. He mentions a "half pound" exploding shell he used in elephant hunting. And that his Arab visitors were amazed when looking at his battery of rifles that they could get TWO fingers in the barrel of "Baby". The Arabs named "Baby" "Jenna el Mootfah", which Baker translated as "Son of a Cannon".
