IN A WELSH DOCK,
Remarkable Incident on A Destroyer.
An account of the circum- stances under which a torpedo was accidentaly fired at the Alexandra Docks, Newport (Mon), on April 21, is given by a Central News correspondent. The first Lord is to be questioned on the subject in the Commons..

The circumstances, it appears, wore very simple,bat the consequences might have been ex- tremely serious. For some time past the Alexandra Docks have. been used by the Admiralty as a base for torpedo-boat destroyera, and the officers have become or ceedingly popular with the in- habitants of Newport, many of whom have from time to time been
