Explosion

Dear Journal,
     Napoleon Mill is no more! It has exploded, with nothing to testify its existence but broken-down foundations and debris... Fifteen men with half a dozen guns between them marched upon Animal Farm this morning -- led by Frederick of Pinchfield. They drilled a hole at the base of the windmill and put in packets of gunpowder. The animals managed to rear the men out in the end, but only after several of the animals were wounded... Napoleon, however, seems to consider this a victory.

     Curiously, I have been instructed by Napoleon to buy some booklets on brewing and distilling down in Willingdon... while the animals have begun to slowly rebuild the windmill.
