  Page 5, 281 words
  
  PORT SAID, Sept. 28. -- At 9:50 o'clock this morning the wreck of the British steamer Chatham, with her cargo of ninety tons of dynamite and blasting gelatine, was blown up by mines distributed around and inside her hull. These were fired by an electric current from Raselech, about five miles away.

  Center of the photo ... is that a buoy?

• Gene Scharmann said:

  @bior: Yes, it is a bouy. You can see the other channel markers in the distance on both sides, behind the ship..

• Antonio said:

  Interesting pic.

• aware health said:

  Is that some sort of hybrid vessel? Looks like it's rigged for sails, but I think I can see a smokestack amidship.

• Retired at last said:

  @rjones0856: Yes, the ship does have sails and a steam engine. The use of sails economised on the need for coal, but the engine was there for when the wind wasn't blowing.
