Here's an oddity. In The Horse Marines, dated 1911, Pyecraft sets off a
rocket which 'rose several thousand metres'. Later on, Jules' 'sufferings
swelled him up centimetres'. Where on earth did Pyecraft get the metric
measurements from? Not the Royal Navy in 1911, surely? Could it have been
from Jules?
