Stink-BALLS, those which yield a great stench where fired to annoy the enemy. Their preparation is thus: Melt ten pounds of pitch, six of rosin, twenty of salt-petre, eight of gun-powder, and four of colophony; to these add two of charcoal, six of horse-hoofs cut small, three of assa-fœtida, one of stinking faracene, and any other offensive ingredients. The rest as in the former.
