9pp extract, printed in double columns, illustrated with 9 drawings and photographs, short closed tear at top edge of rear page, not affecting text, salvaged from a damaged issue of The Cosmopolitan, Volume XII, No. 6, April, 1892. An authoritative review of the actual capabilities of torpedoes, the results attainable by their use, and the restrictions inevitably attending their indefinite expansion into a complete system of defence. Illustrations include an ironclad, an iron target two inches thick broken by dynamine explosions, a typical mine explosion, shrapnel fire of flanking guns, the Sims-Edison torpedo, the sinking of the Blanco Encalada, a sinking ship, experimenting from the torpedo station, and explosion through ice, and a scene of ambush by mines. Housed in protective mylar report cover with spine sleeve.
