CASE 4.
ATTACKING A VESSEL AT ANCHOR BY COMING UP RIGHT ASTERN AND THEN PASSING ON EITHER SIDE.
In this case, having determined upon the side it is desirable to pass, a torpedo is launched accordingly. When near the vessel, the torpedo is sufficiently diverged, and the torpedo vessel passing onwards ahead, the torpedo is brought under the run or bottom of the vessel attacked, as shown by the drawing.

CASE 4.—ATTACKING A VESSEL AT ANCHOR COMING UP FROM ASTERN AND THEN PASSING ON EITHER SIDE.
CASE 5.
PASSING DOWN BETWEEN TWO LINES OF VESSELS AT ANCHOR, AND DESTROYING THEM ON EITHER SIDE.
In this case, it would be impossible to fire at the torpedo vessel for fear of injury to their friends. Two or more torpedo vessels following each other with preconcerted signals would cause great destruction.
