Mr.. II. O. Crowley, formerly clectri-
clan of the Torpedo Division, @. 5. NJ
contributes 90 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 a torpedo station. some
five or six miles below Richmond. by
submerglng two Iron tanks. contain
Ing one thousand pounds Of powder
each, I'm twelve feet Of water. leading
the wires ashore. and connecting them
with a galvanic battery concealed IN a
small hut In deep ravine. From the
battery-house the wires were led to
I'm elevated position near by, where
the man in charge could keep a 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 blum. and in a line
with each other and the torpedocs; and
the watchman's instructions were to
explode them by contracting the wires
rs soon as an enemy's vessel should be
on n limo with the two pointers All
this being prepared, we awaited the
approach Of q Federal gunboat. AS
was usually the case, one came when

day. when our entire force except the
man stationed rs lookout was absent

We We're appraised 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
States Gag for long period, and never
having previously seen a gunboat SO
near. lost his presence OF mind. and
fired one of the 1.0O0-pound powder
tanks when tho gunboat was at least
twenty 10 thirty yards distant. 4 great
explosion took place, throwing ND q

momentum plunged into the great
trough. and caught the downward rush
Of wave on her forward deck. The
guards were broken away. half dozen
men were thrown overheard. and other

The steamer then turned about q.
