made possible through their own efforts
in case sufocation or gas poisoning is
staring them in the face. Our boats
should be provided with eyes for the
quick attachment OF pontoon chains
In every submarine operating area
there must be provided groups of the
latest design pontoons. and a salvage
ship like the Falcon with trained
crew of divers and sailors. drilled and
ready to swing into action with the
pontoons.

Department in providing divers and
