TIE REBEL TORPEDO
which struck the Ironsides and was in ended to
blow up the monster frigate, might have pisysd
hsYoe generally had il been directed against the
sides Of q wsoden vessel. At the time it eE-
plodsd the gunhost Fah-Kse, Captain Webb,
with dispatches from hsre, was lying alongside
Of the Ironsides, and he shock caused BY the
explosion was diatInctiy fslE by al on board.
Had the torpedo been sent to sbe ether side OF
the higs's, between her and the Fah-Kse, it is
aimOzt certaia that lsttsr ship would have been
blown to atoms. But it seems that the sole de-
sire Of the Enemy was 20 annihiisle ths Lf0n-
5idas, which they both hats sad fear, On account
