Renault, the VolunteerMany of our cannon proved bad, and some burst. By the last several of our people were wounded, and one killed on the spot. But none of these accidents, nor sickness, nor the fire of the enemy, would prove so kind to one gentleman among us as to give him that release he owed afterwards to his own hand. This was one Renault, a volunteer.He had, to his great misfortune, escaped death from his country's enemies only to meet it himself. His money being all gone, and every application for relief proving ineffectual to answer his expense, he went from the company he had spent the last shilling in, though in so merry a disposition that 'twas impossible they could suspect anything of his design, and retiring to his chamber shot himself. He had done his work too well to admit of relief, and was dead before anybody could enter his room.

The bursting of cannon was a feature of the 13th siege where more people were killed by their own weaponry - and on either side - than by that of the enemy. A rather anachronistic example of today's 'collateral damage' and 'friendly fire'. Nevertheless - and for what in effect were rather suspect reasons - the 13th siege soon came to be known as the Gunner's War.
