ten o'clock
One man had been killed by the machinery on board of the _ Delta _ , and two had been burned by the ignition of some oil on the _ Epsilon _ . I took these injured men on board , and I gave each of the boats one of my crew . I also divided my spare oil , my provisions , and my torpedoes among them , though we had the greatest possible difficulty in those crank vessels in transferring them from one to the other . However , by ten o'clock it was done , and the two vessels were in condition to keep the sea for another ten days . For my part , with only two torpedoes left , I headed north up the Irish Sea . One of my torpedoes I expended that evening upon a cattle-ship making for Milford Haven . Late at night , being abreast of Holyhead , I called upon my four northern boats , but without reply .
