kept in all submarines.
They have still another use, for, be-
ing full of air, they serve as life
buoys. Thus, in the event Of SUBJ
marine being struck by passing
ship and holed, these dresses would
be put on at once. Then the hatch
could be opened, and the men would
float to the surface.
Air always seeks the highest point,
and as soon as a submarine leaks the
water fills the bottom and pushes the
air to the top, where certain guam
tity is always held in any odd little
corner near the roof. Therefore, thin
steel partitions, depending foot or
two from the roof in places where 1t
slopes or forms corners, are being
fitted in order to form air traps in
different parts of the interior.
Thus, when a bad leak occurs,
filling the submarine with water,
the air is pressed into these
traps. The crew Immediately seize
their helmets and stand with heads
and shoulders above the water in the
air traps, so that they can breathe
while putting on the safety dress.
Another invention that has been
tried in one or two of the underwater
craft consists Of long flexible tube
attached to the outside. At one end
is a float, while the other commune

of an accident this tube is liberated,
and is at once borne to the surface
by the float, to which is attached a
flare, to give notice to any ship near
at hand. Until. the submarine Is
raised, the crew can breathe through
this tube, or food might even be
passed down.
At least one American vessel is
fitted with door through which the
crew can escape II necessary. This
door opens into a chamber, which In
its turn communicates with an air
lock. If it is desired to leave the sub
marine, diving dress is donned and
the air lock entered. The door COM
municating with the interior Of the
vessel is closed. and then the diver
goes into the outer compartment,
closing the door of the air lock after
him. Water is then allowed to enter.
and when 1t is full he merely opens
the door and steps out. The door is
then closed and the water pumped
