BOYNTON HAS a THEORY.
The Famous Swimmer Tells How 1t
Might Have Happened.

WILLIMANTIC. Conn. Feb IL
Capt. Paul Boynton. the swimmer, be-
Iieves that the blowing up OF the Maine
was the work of Spaniards. Capt.
Boyutou said that probably the Maine
had her head against the stream
A torpedo might have been exploded
under her in two ways A torpedo
weighing from 100 to $50 pounds could
have been attached TO a piece Of drift
wood and drffted down towards the
boat
The torpedo could have been foated
from a skif with a line and a catch
that would stop 1t on the anchor
chain. Then, by playing out the line
attached to the torpedo for the dis
lance that had already been determined
between the anchor chain and the boat,
the torpedo could be brought alongside
Of the vessel and exploded in two diff
ferent ways.
There might have been a screw at
tached. similar TO the screw on a pro-
p-eller. and the moment the torpedo
stopped moving and was brought with
head to the current. the screw would
revoIve, and, after making a. certain
number of revolutions. would release a
pin within the torpedo and cause the
explosion.
Another method would be by clock
mechanism A clock would be wound
up and set at a fixed time TO cause the
explosion
The torpedo could have been f1oated
down to the Maine and have all the
appearance of a piece Of driftwood.
Capt Boynton is positive that the ex-
pIosfon was caused by one or the other
of these methods.
