During' this action the Huascar was struck by a 150-poun(ler i^rojectile under her counter, close to the water- line. This shot penetrated the armor, although it struck sideways^ The Huascar grappled and cut the submarine cable, thus temporarily severing the communic...ation between that place and Valparaiso.
