From: att!jsugate!nak Things went almost according to the plan. It took longer to get to the ship than planned since the currents and speed of the Turtle were not what was expected. Finally arriving, the boring screw would not bite into the hull of the target ship. It had a copper bottom that was too fresh for the bit to go through and so the mine could not be attached.
