No. 1046 to bottom of plate; a new crack above No. 1045,

sixth frame from left drawn up from scantling and broken. 
Inside skin opened over a length of 48", showing splinters 
of wood; fifth and eighth ribs considerably bulged and angle 
iron broken. Shot struck at the joint of the plating and 
forced in the whole of the plating in the neighbourhood of 
the joint; thirty rivets broken; shot broke up into innumer¬

between decks. This shot skimmed the ground before 
striking.
