A NEW TORPEDO CATCHER .
Wellington, Monday. Mr Fake, of Palmerston North, claims
to have invented a scheme under which it is impossible for any number of torpedoes to sink a warship. He adds, ‘My scheme will also allow of much greater speed without any increase of steam power. Also, our ironclads may be built with lighter armour, and be perfectly safe from destruction by torpedoes. The principle part of my scheme is that an ironclad may be struck with 50 to pedoes and not destroyed nor put out o tion. The scheme I have forwarded [illegible] the Admiralty as being of the greatest importance to our nation at the present moment.’
