DASTARDLY ATTEMPT

Made TO Blow up the Supply Ship Port
Victoria with an Internal Machine.
New York, July 25.-In a letter
written to a prominent officer here
and received by Captain William
c. Brackley, of the refrigerating and
supply ship Port Victoria, says that
an attempt was made to blow up
the ship when she was three days
out. He said that a box contain.
ing thirty pounds Of dynamite and
gun cotton was found, without any
address, on the main deck Of the
steamer. A clock like mechanism
had been arranged by which the
explosives were to be set off. The
box and explosives were thrown
into the sea. The Port Victoria
left New York, July II.
The box was made of 215-inch
lumber, and was iointed and
grooved. 1t was IS inches high,
20 inches wide and 9 feet long.
When the box was opened, an
other box, made of the same kind
of lumber and nearly as large was
found inside.
This was opened and inside was
found the dynamite and gun cot
ton. The upper part Of the fin
ished side of the box was lined
with numerous wires, connected
with a clock ike mechanism, as de-
scribed by the captains letter,
though the letter did not state at
what time the mechanism had been
set to be exploded.
Captain Brickley wrote that he
aud the stewart threw the box
overheard. They did not inform
any one else of the ship occurrence
with the exception of an expert Of
fcer, who examined the machine
for Captain Brickley.
The captain wrote that the box
was aboard the ship when she left
New York and he said it must have
been placed aboard her.
