But the Daly bomb was a far more delicate piece of mechanism. Inside the bomb was a little bottle containing sulphuric acid with a small piece of lead, so that when the bomb was thrown the weight of the lead caused the bottle to break and the acid came in contact with a composition, which immediately ignited. This ignition fired a detonator, which in turn fired the dynamite. Although the various moves in the interior of the Daly bomb were many, yet we were assured by Colonel Majendie that in some experiments he made, from the moment the bomb struck the ground to its explosion there was no appreciable interval of time. The deadly wrecking powers of this bomb were proved by Colonel Majendie at the trial of Daly. The Colonel took a bomb and exploded it in an iron room, which is used for testing shells at Woolwich. A dozen dummy wooden figures--of the size of living men--were placed round the apartment. The bomb was exploded by electricity, and the twelve figures received no fewer than one hundred and sixty-eight wounds! [Illustration: Fig. 15.--THE DALY BOMB.] The relics of the Daly case, at New Scotland Yard, are amongst the most treasured of such items in the possession of the police. Some of them are reproduced here. There is the bomb (Fig. 15), and a very formidable weapon it appears, though it would easily fit in an overcoat pocket; the written instructions found on Daly are fairly legible (Fig. 16), though in the case of one or two words the sulphuric acid has partially obliterated several of the letters. However, its intention is sufficiently intelligible. Furthermore, there are set out a number of pieces of metal--any of which would be capable of killing a man--which were extracted from some of the dummy figures experimented on at Woolwich (Fig. 17). [Illustration: FIG. 16.--DALY'S INSTRUCTIONS.] It should be stated that Daly, at his trial, suggested that these bombs might be used for killing fish. [Illustration: FIG. 17.--PIECES TAKEN OUT OF DUMMY FIGURES.] "Yes," said Colonel Majendie pointing to those found on Daly; "but nobody would care to fish with those."
