I am informed by the Admiralty that on several
occasions recently incendiaris has been attempted on board
British ships from United States ports. It has been the
practice to insert among the cargo a small cylinder of
@
lead containing acid and powder; the acid and the powder
are separated from one another by a diaphragm of zinc.
The acid acts on the zine and causes an explosion on
coming into contact with the powder. In view of the possi-
bility of the employment of similar methods elsewhere a
warning should be issued to port authorities to pay
particular attention to the bunkering and loading of all
Tassels the cargoes of which might invite incendiarism by
the agents of the enemy.
