Abstract

'NEWPORT, R. I., Dec. 7. - After a year's preparation the third trial of the Cunningham rocket torpedo was made here today, in Coddington Coveā€¦. All conditions appeared to favour the projectile, but no sooner had it been discharged than it went into the mud, though it had twenty-nine feet of water for nearly all the distance that it was expected to travel.'
