With a muffled detonation' and a puff of smoke, a real torpedo was projected from H.M.S. Dunedin, lying at the Rattray street wharf, into Otago Harbour yesterday afternoon. This unique exhibition was part of the instructive entertainment, of greater interest to the grown-ups than to the children, at yesterday’s party on the ship. The propelling power was reduced, and the torpedo, travelling close to the surface, came peacefully to rest in the steamer basin, where a ship s boat soon retrieved it.
