Cheese ammunition changes naval battle in Montevideo encounter
The Montevidian Commodore Coe reportedly repurposed Dutch cheese as improvised ammunition in a clash with Admiral Brown of the Buenos service. Cheese rounds caused damage and confusion, with one striking the mainmast and others bursting near crew, prompting Brown to retreat after a light broadside. The account claims the tale as an actual fact from Coe’s ship Santa Maria.

Atlantic Cable Facts and Jewish Welfare Notice
The article lists Atlantic cable transmission timings including two tenths of a second before any effect, four tenths to first signal, and three seconds to full action. It notes up to seventeen words per minute possible, with twelve words a minute a good rate, and ten to twelve words reaching London in two minutes. It also mentions directional speed variance and a stray note on Jewish synagogue practices and gender seating.
