MEN WALKED WITH DEATH"
Sailor, on Sweeping Trasisrs n
Constant Peril Of Sudden and
Awful Disaster.

Imagine yourself trying to walk
through a dense wood at midnight
without light. the penalty for touch
Ing tree being death. That will
give you some idea of the dangers that
the men on minesweeping trawlers
faced when their vessels were steam
Ing through a freshly sown mine field.
The rninesweepers were divided into
groups. each of which was commanded
BY naval officer. The vessels left
harbor about daylight and steamed out
to sweep for mines.
They worked in pairs abreast Of
each others. Between the vessels
swung the sweep wire, sunk to the
necessary depth In the water by means
OF towed kites-wOoden arrangements
acting on the same principle as ordi-
nary air kites
These wires can be regulated to
travel TO any depth beneath the sur
face. When mines are caught they
are dragged to one side and destroyed
by rife fire. If the bullets hit the
detonator the mine generally explodes
at once; but, If, on the other hand,
water enters the buoyancy chamber
and foods II, the mine goes to the
bottom like a stone and becomes in
nocuous.
AS the trawlers themselves may
draw as much as II feet of water
they may come into contact with q
mine laid at or above that depth. II
q mine sweeper is struck and the re,
sultant explosion occurs forward In
