stuck out from the cruisers side
about 8 feet, exploded the torpedo,
and the Grafton steamed back to port
with only a slight list.
improvements were made on the
blisters and they were fitted to the
sister monitors Erebus and Terror.
Both of these vessels, mounting Is
inch guns, bombarded the Belgian
coast for months. Both were tor
pedoed within week and but for the
protecting blisters they would have
been sunk. Three torpedoes struck
the Erebus, two hitting the fore part
of the monitor where the blister ia

damaged than had been thought and
she was subsequently repaired. No
ship ever before survived three tor
pedoes.
The navy now has about so blister
ships in commission, including some
of the first battle cruiser squadron
The new dreadnoughts Rodney, Howe
and Hood are being fitted also with
blisters.
A self-propelling projectile charged
with 500 pounds of t. n. T. was per-
| fected by the naval experts only a
short time before the armistice was
signed. It is believed to have

and effectiveness of the British fleet.
| The projectile can be discharged

the purpose of a. depth charge.
An apparatus for throwing a fame
for a distance of 240 feet, as water is
thrown from a hose, was rugged on
one Of the vessels that took part in
the raid on Zeebrugge. But before it
could be used q shell from the en-
envy batteries put it out Of action.
Another invention is a gun to fire
signals from submerged submarines.
It sends a star shell 800 feet into the
air.
Several kinds Of smoke screens
were invented, most of them for the
purpose of battling U-bOats. A power
full flare equal to a million candle

with great effect against enemy sub
marines waiting on the surface at
night to attack merchant ships. These
flares, suddenly ignited, turned night

aid and sunk.
The work Of developing these in

British naval experts in the war time

torpedoed several blister ships, but in
every case, it is asserted, the vessels
were able to reach port and be re-
paired.
Sir E. H. II. D'Eyncourt. director
OF naval construction, invented the
blister, which was first attached to
