The FIRST TORPEDO.
Exploded Too Soon to Destroy a Fed
eral Gunboat


eral Gunboat.
Mr.. R. o. Crowley, formerly electrI-
clan of the Torpedo Division, G. s. ~,
contributes to the Century an account
of "The Confederate Torpedo Service"
After describing the organization of
the first torpedo service, Mr.. Crowley
says:
Having our system now perfected,
we established torpedo station. some
five or six miles below Richmond. by
submerging two iron tanks. contain
Ing one thousand pounds of powder
each, In twelve feet of water. leading
the wires ashore, and connecting them
with galvanic battery concealed in u
small hut In deep rayine. From the
battery-house the wires were led to
IN elevated position near by, where
the man in charge could keep look
out for passing vessels. The position
of the torpedoes In the water was indi-
Gated by two sticks, planted about ten
feet apart on the bluff. and In line
with each other and the torpedoes; and
the Watchman's instructions were to
explode them by contracting the wires
as soon as IN enemy's vessel should be
On line with the two pointers. All
this being prepared, we awaited the
approach of q Federal gunboat. AS
was usually the case, one came when
least expected, on a beautiful clear
day, when our entire force except the
IN Richmond. preparing other war ma
terial.
We were apprfsed by telegraph of
the rapid approach Of the gunboat and
Immediately fastened toward our first
station; but we arrived too late. The
man in charge had not seen the United
Ststes flag for q long period, and never
having previously seen a gunboat SO
near, lost his presence of mind and
tanks when the gunboat was at least
twenty to- thirty yards distant. A great
explosion took place, throwing up
large column of water to consider
able height; and the gunboat by her
momentum plunged into the great
trough, and caught the downward rush
Of a wave on her forward deck. The
guards were broken away, half dozen
men were thrown overheard, and other
damage to the gunboat was caused.
The steamer then turned about as
quickly as she could, and prepared to
retrace her route down the river. after
picking up the men who had been
washed overheard There was a bril-
liant opportunity to accomplish her to-
tai destruction by firing the remaining
torpedo as she passed back over 1t.
But alas! the man had been so astound-
ed at the first explosion that he had
fed precipitately. without waiting to
see what damage had been done. and
the gunboat was thus enabled to re-
turn down the river in safety.

Her Crinoitne Killed Kim.

Among the historical incidents con-
nected with the Rathhaus Is one re-
lating to an old judge who laughed
himself to death. One sultry day,
reads the record, during a recess of the
council, the members were leaning
from the windows of the Rathhaus, In
the hope to catch any stray wind. 1t
was the period of hoops and volumin-
Gus skirts, and maid shared with mis-
tress the mania for distended attire.
On this pulseless summer day pretty
servant girl In wide hooped skirt
and a gray bodice made her way
through the lettering groups up to the
fountain. She filed her tub and lifted
1t to her head, but In this movement,
10, the wonderful skirt was wrested
from it's fastenings, and it dropped to
the ground. The judge had seen the
maid approach the fountain like ship
under full sail, and when he now be-
held her, collapsed and abashed, he
was filed with such humor that upon
the spot he laughed himself to death.
