NAVAL BOATS DO
DANGEROUS WORK

II casualty toll of -four vessels dam
aged, one officer killed and others
wounded. The U. s. s. Bobollnk. the
first victim, had her stern blown in
by an exploding mine. Lieutenant
Bruce was killed. Several other off,
GERS and men, knocked overheard, yere
rescued. The U. S. s. Patu1cni. was
badly damaged about the stern and the
U. S. S. Rail slightly damaged. All
were Of about 1000 tons. The fourth
was smaller boat.
Thus far the fleet has covered an
area continuing 1000 mines. OF these
45 per cent have been accounted for.
Where the remaining 65 per cent are
nobody knows. Captain Sexton esti-
mated the mine hunt would keep the
sweepers busy until Octobe. or No
vember. 1t involves q personnel Of
about $500.
When the word was first mouthed
around through the ranks that Ameri-
can gObs were going to pick up the
mines they helped to lay short time
before, the general opinion was that
Jobs yet. And no one has been disap-
pointed. Equipped with maps show
ing approximately where every mine
was dropped, the flotilla started out
in twos, each pair dragging n cable be-
tween them.
Mines Sown In Strings.
The mines, the map said, were sewn
in strings. All the sweepers had to
do was to straddle the line, pass from
one end to the other, and the cable,
between them, would do the rest.
OF course, the particular mine in
question wouldn't be the only one to go
off. The cOncussion would always set
off others Immediately adjoining. and
probably still others adjoining these.
These two eXigencies We're provided
for on the map under the titles "zone
of extreme danger" "Zone of possible
danger" and beyond that zone of
safety" In addition, there would be n
few other mines free-lancing around in
all three zones.
The first few days were rather dis
astrous. Captain Sexton and his staff
in London began to dread opening the
mornings dispatches. Gradually, with
Yankee resourcefulness, the Americans
seemed to be getting on top of the
job. until now Captain Sexton is con.
tident they are going to clean up the
assignment with minimum losses.
