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 saltpetre, eight of gunpowder, and four of colophony; to these add two of charcoal, six of horse-hoofs cut small, three of asafetida, one of stinking-faracen, and any other offensive ingredients. The rest as in the former.
