While the submarine was running on the surface, thereby saving the dynamos, since she was being propelled by the petrol engines, opportunity was Disabled 193 taken to examine the damage caused by the ex- plosion of the mine. It was found that one of the fore-and-aft girders had been shattered for a length of nearly fifteen feet, and some of the connecting braces and struts had been twisted and buckled. In addition, one of the horizontal rudders had been bent almost to a semicircle, a fact that ...accounted for the sub- marine's failure to maintain a given depth without use of the auxiliary ballast. "Your device saved us, sir, " remarked Cros- thwaite. "Close contact with that mine would have pulverized the plating. " "Yes, it has, " assented Huxtable. "But un- fortunately it wouldn't serve its purpose a second time if we found a mine in the same spot. More than that, the shattered girder is an encum- brance. Instead of warding off the mooring wire of an anchored mine, that jagged projection would foul it, for a moral cert.
