DEATH^DEALING SHELLS AND TORPEDOES 



A twelve-inch Austrian shell 

 which fell inside the French 

 fortress of Troyon and fail- 

 ed to explode. It is reported 

 that of late many of the Ger- 

 man and Austrian shells used 

 on the western front do not 

 explode, and that this is due 

 to inferior manufacture caus- 

 ed by lack of necessary 

 materials. 



A German torpedo that was 

 washed up on the shores of 

 France. This torpedo was 

 probably intended for a 

 warship or merchant vessel 

 but missed its mark, and 

 after expending its motive 

 power it drifted about un- 

 til washed ashore 



A huge hole in the hold of 

 a German ship that was 

 captured by the British and 

 used in the Dardanelles 

 operations. This hole was 

 caused by a Turkish 

 torpedo, and strikingly il- 

 lustrates the explosive 

 power of modern torpedoes. 

 In this instance the hole 

 was above the water line 

 and the ship remained 

 afloat.
