FIND BOMB IN STEAMER.
Internal Machine Expiodes When 1t Is
Thrown Overheard.


Philadelphia, Aug. 30.-An Internal
machine was discovered in the hold of
the steamship Eagle Point as the vessel
lay in the Delaware river at the Phil
adelphia and Reading railroad grain
elevator. The steamer was saved from
destruction by fraction of a second,
as the bomb exploded as it touched the
water after being thrown overheard.
The Eagle Point is one of the vessels
of the Philadelphia Transatlantic line
and plies between this city and Lon
don. The internal machine, which en-
dangered the lives of Captain Robert
son and crew of thirty men, was dis
covered in the afterhold by stevedore.
He carried it to the captain, who threw
1t into the river. AS it sank it ex-
ploded, sending column of water fif-
ty feet into the air.
1t Is limited that a former member
of the crew who felt that he had a
grievance against Captain Robertson
placed the bomb on the vessel.
