"A flicker of flame went up through the rising steam, and then the Martian reeled
and staggered. In another moment he was cut down, and a great body of water
and steam shot high in the air. The guns of the Thunder Child sounded through
the reek, going off one after the other, and one shot splashed the water high
close by the steamer, ricocheted towards the other flying ships to the north, and
smashed a smack to matchwood". - H.G. Wells 'The War of the Worlds'.
