The British naval manoeuvres are the event of the year for the poor fisherfolk on the coast. They are often re munerated to the extent of five pounds for the recovery of a torpedo or skiff lost in the events. Above is shown a picture of some fishermen towing a runaway torpedo to the big vessel to claim the reward. It may be noted that the torpedo is being towed backward, owing to the fact that very often they show returns to life and bound forward at a high rate of speed.
