The buoy is moored by means of q
mushroom anchor, which holds well in

projecting points or arms, which might

The buoy rope is paid out till the an
Choir is within few fathorns of the bot

means of the apparatus on the boat the

As soon as the cable is hooked it slips

the strain caused by the lifting is strong

cable laying, SO that damage OF this sort
may be rapidly repaired. THE British

adoption of a new method OF laying
