London, March 28,
The Duke and Duchess of York are greatly interested in a trial of the Brennari torpedo—the invention of an Australian —which.took place at the mouth of the Valetta'Harbour, Malta. The Duchess operated the mechanism used for discharging the torpedo, by means of which a boat was destroyed two miles outside the harbor.
A grotesque water carnival was arranged for the entertainment of their Royal Highnesses by the bluejackets of the British warships, and was a great success. Huge canvas models of an elephant, a kangaroo, a dodo, a crocodile, and a dragon, illuminated from within, disported in the evening on the harbor, which the vessels of the fleet illuminated by means of their search and other electric lights.
