The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1898-04-30

The Whitehead torpedo, which is the
weapon used by the Spanish torpedo
boats and destroyers. is q hollow steel
projectile shaped like a fish. At its
front end is fastened a so called war
head filled with gun cotton, and in place
OF a tail Ii has small screw propeller.
The interior is filed with machinery
and compressed air. Discharged from
the torpedo tube, this formidable pro-
jectile falls with a splash into the wa
ter and sinks to a certain depth. Then
1t travels horizontally toward the tar
get and is expected TO explode on strik-
ing. The propeller Is made to revolve
at very rapid rate by the compressed
air inclnsed within the contriyance. II
the latter fails from any cause to go
Off. 1t sinks harmless to the bottom OF
the sea and thus is not a danger to
navigation afterward. There are sew
eral sizes OF these torpedoes Those
ordinarily used by torpedo boats are ~
feet long and are provided with 40
pounds of gun cotton. The destroyers
however. employ much larger ones, Is
feet in length and containing $50 pounds
OF gun cotton. The cost OF White
head torpedo is from $1,000 up, but that
is not much to pay for a projectile that
is capable OF destroying a s5.o00.00o bat
tleship.
Fish torpedoes acquire additional ter
rors from their invisibility while they
are running toward ship. Travelling
under water as they do. 1t Is impossible
for those on board Of an assailed ves-
sci to know just when a fatal blow is
coming. If the projectile strikes. de-
struction is certain. Nothing can re-
sist the discharge OF such a quantity
of gun cotton. Half dozen years ago
the Brazilian insurgent ship Aquidahan
was struck by a torpedo, which made
a hole in her side big enough to drive
a hay wagon through. a large part cf
her interior being transformed into q
mass of wreckage. 1t has been sug-
gested that one very effective way Of
tackling a battleship would be for two
or more torpedo boats to bear down
swiftly upon her in different directions.
OF course this would be done at night
by preference. If there were three boats
engaged in the attempt. at least one Of
them would be likely to be able to de-
liver a well aimed shot before being
destroyed. The minute that the ad-
vancing craft were deserted by the aid
of the searchlights storm of shot and
shell would be turned upon them. Be-
ing absolutely without armor protec-
tion. they would quickly be riddled. but
one or more OF the deadly fishlike mis-
siles might be successfully delivered.
The relative efficiency Of the battleship
and the torpedo boat is yet to become
known. The problem Is likely to be
solved in the present war with Spain.
One trouble about the Whitehead tor
pedoes is that they are hard to guide
and apt to go crooked.
