<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;Submarine Mines&#039;&#039; is a letter written by [[Arthur Conan Doyle]] first published in [[The Times]] on 8 september 1914.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Submarine Mines ==<br /> [[File:The-Times-1914-09-08-submarine-mines.jpg|250px|right|thumb|[[The Times]] (8 september 1914)]]<br /> <br /> TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.<br /> <br /> Sir, — Is it really beyond the capacity of our marine architects to devise some sort of steel trident or fork which could be projected into the water in front of the bows of a vessel to explode a contact mine before the prow actually touched it ? I understand that a surprisingly small interval of water forms an effective buffer against the shock.<br /> <br /> Yours faithfully,<br /> <br /> ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE.&lt;br /&gt;<br /> Windlesham, Crowborough, Sussex, Sept. 6.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> * [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle:Complete Works|Back to Complete Works]]<br /> * [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|Back to Conan Doyle]]</div>
