3rd Experiment.
Torpedo:—As before. It was placed on the ground, 60' horizontal, and opposite the condenser on the starboard side; 47' below the surface of the water.
Effect of explosion:—No damage was done to the hull. Flanges of the condenser inlet pipe were cracked, and several of the joint bolts were broken. The condenser had been thrown up bodily, and had torn away its holding down bolts; but it was not as well secured as it would have been had it formed part of the machinery of a ship.
