The navy depertroer.i report shows that on the morning at December 17 a depth bomb on board the destroyer Remllk broke loose from Its poslttac OB the stern of the craft and. bursting its basins, .rent bouncing about the deck. A heavy tea was on at the ttme; in fact, the waves were breaking far ovei the stem of the destroyer, and the rolling and pitching of the little craft sent the Mg bomb flying backward nnd forward to port and starboard, crashing into the rails of the vessel and hitting everything upstanding on the deck with a force that threatened to explode It at any moment nnd blow the boat to scrap Iron. The actions of this engine o! destruction recall Victor Hugo's great description of the gun which breaks loose from Its moorings on shipboard
