***ARC catches and eats crickets ... chasing them down with swigs of rum while waiting***

That's a ramrod and its accounterments for removing a stuck ball. And a fuse prick, and....I gotta go back and look.

 

[ARC]

Hint... 2 items go inside and 2 do not of the "thing" they belong to.

Four Cannon Implements, a wooden rammer with turned head marked "1793/GH," an iron worm, an iron pick, and an iron linstock head

I think the corkscrew is called a sprue or spree I'm not sure what the double pronged piece is, but its associated with cannons for what purpose I'm not sure. But I'll be looking for stuff like that in a couple weeks.

Holds a rope wick... which is a slow burning fuse... then when cannon is ready to fire the linstock is lowered by the linstock tender (person who keeps it lit and lowers it to fuse hole to ignite)

Cannon... for the most part... were always "run" by a crew... each with a task / duty.
