To Save Vessels From Sinkinu.

Interest has been aroused by an ap-
paratus that has lately been developed
to save ocean vessels from sinking
after being torpedoed or damaged by
collision. The contrivance, which is
shown in Popular Mechanics Maya
zine, comprises a Illuminated steel disk,
to the center of which is attached n
series of rubberized canvas cone
shaped buckets. In use, the end cone
on the chain would be lowered into
the water in the vicinity of the hole
in a ships hull. Upon being caught by
the inrushing water, 1t would be pulled
through the opening. Tire whole string
of buckets would then be lowered along
with the disk so that the latter
would be pulled in place over the
break. The cones, being of flexible ma
teriai, would be able to pass through
an aperture, regardless of its shape.
The disk, once IN place, would be held
by the pressure of the water against
the hull.
