Those who crowded into the pilot

The lightship bell Is hung by davits
over the side. 1t Is attached to q case
and is operated by compressed air fed
through twin rubber hose. The strokes
on the bell are automatically con.

in the fore peak and as far below the

mechanism consists Of two small tanks

In each tank two microphones are
placed, immersed In liquid. These
microphones receive the SOUND waves
coming through the water and strik.

these tanks wires run to the battery
box, which supplies the power. and
from there to the indicator box.
The receiving telephones are similar
to the telephone ear pieces now IN
use. The indicator box. shaped like =
clock. Is fastened to the wall OF the
pilothouse. By means Of a switch
either the port or starboard micro
phone can be connected with the re-
ceiving telephones. A dial shows
which side is connected. 1t was ex-
planned that the bell works best at
about thirty feet below the surface.
The sound of the bell has been heard
eighteen and half miles.

York esy--kew Apparatus Viii Help
ehips In Fog.
a man bindfolded piloted the tug
Eugene +. Moran from point over
three miles out in the open sea to the
Ambrose channel lightship, in New
York bay. the other day. picking up the
light vessel by the sound of the sub
marine signal bell and following the
course by the guiding sound of the
bell ringing some thirty feet below the
surface.
The Eugene F. Moran left pier .
North river, New York. soon after IL
o'clock In the morning, with shipping
men and experts on board. The tug,
boat James II. Moran went along, hav-
ing on board signal bell apparatus
for the trials.
The tug went down the lower bay TO
the Ambrose lIghtship and ran along,
side to request that the submarine bell
on board be Kept ringing.
In a short time the man who had the
telephone headpioce connected with
the microphone receivers at the bow OF
the tug reported:
There goes the bell now"
The Moran continued to point
about three miles beyond the Hook
and, after Assistant Engineer Fay had
been blindfolded. the Moran was put
gu. of her course to confuse him. while
the receivers were put at his ears.
There WAS a short interval, and then
Fay said TO Captain Reilly of the tug
The bell IL of the starboard side"
The course was changed. and then
ray reported the sound as coming
from the port sides. Again the wheel
swung around. and again Fay report
ed on the direction Of the bell
"A little to port" he ordered, and
then, as the tug swung over, he said
Now I hear the bell from port and
starboard. The lightship lies dead
ahead. Keep that course. captain"
So the blindfolded man kept her te
the course. Occasionally lie would or
der q trife more to port or to star
board us the sound indicated that the
bow was swinging point off the line
to the iightship.
As the tug approached the lightshir
the test was made complete. The tug
swung from one point of the compass
TO another. The blindfolded man was
never fooled. He called the bells as
accurately as a hotel clerk calls the in
dicator.
"Now we've got him." said Captain
Reilly as he pointed the Moran on one
course
