the depth at which the wreck lies and
also tho course that the vessel was taxi

atus, which is in the form OF buoy, is
released automatically from the bridge
deck when the vessel meets with disaster
and wire attachment holds It over the
spot where the vessel disappears. The ap-
paratus would prove useful, the inventor
