seven years in charting the oceans Of the

but have never been mapped for the
benefit of navigation. A special study
will be made Of the vicinity where the
Titanic sunk and whence have come two
reports Of a hidden rock.
1t is believed by scientists that the
lack of attention to dangerous rocks and
reefs has been a large factor in the in
creasing losses of life and property at sea
which have attracted the attention Of the
whole civilized world during recent years.
During the last three years the great In
surance organization OF Lloyds has re-
ported $4,000 tons OF shipping IN which
they were interested as mysteriously lost
