Abstract
BY the death of Louis Brennan on Jan. 17, at Montreux, Switzerland, Great Britain loses an inventor whose name was once very widely known. Born at Castlebar, Ireland, on Jan. 28, 1852, Brennan at an early age went to Australia, and it was while working as a watchmaker in Melbourne that he conceived the idea for a torpedo which could be fired and controlled from a fixed position.
