Fleets Set Out at Dawn.

Daily from nearly all British sea-
ports number Of minesWeeperS put
TO sea at dawn. Once they are clear
of the harbOr signal futterS from
the masthead Of the leading vessel.
In response to i odd numbered ships
veer barricoe astern on a grass
lire. The ship next astern of them
noses up alongside, picks up this
barriCoe,. and. hauling away the
grass line, brings the sweep wire
aboard where il IS put on a slip.
Each pair of vessels opens out to
sweeping distance" apart, taking
care TO maintain perfect station
When the vessels are in position an
other signal is made by the senior
officers ship, and the kites, which
keep the sweep wire at the right
depth beneath the surface of the wa
ter, are lowered astern of every
vessel. Each pair then turns off to
sweep the area allotted TO it for pa
troll; we'll knowing that the days
work will be long and rough and
risky, tor there IS always the posi-
blllty OF a sweeping craft humping
a mine and being blown up.

Hunt Sea Mines
With Big Fleet
Britain Has More Than 500
Small Vessels Engaged
In Dangerous Task.

LONDON. - The British mine
sweep which, in its preventive quail
tiles, is the S. B. Especial branch)
of the royal navy, just as the fight
ing ships form the c. /. D., is the
World war evolution Of the trawler
of the North sea coast. When that
was ended there were TAO ships,
only Is per cent of which had been
specially built, manned by $4,000
officers and men, employed in mine
sweeping, directed from local naval
stations.
Today the minesweeping service
is directly under the control Of the
admiralty and has over 200 60-foot
craft built and equipped for their
special vocation, with 300 more con-
verted trawlers, yachts and other
suitable ships operated by nearly
5O,OOO selected officers and seamen.
Large numbers Of additional craft
are under construction.
Just as this personnel is now care
fully schooled in their dangerous
calling, so the craft at their COM
mand are supplied with scientific APP
paratus, quite unknown at the be-
ginning of the World war. 1t was
the late Admiral Lord Fisher, then
first sea lord, who put forward the
idea of an organized hunt for mines;
it was the late Admiral Lord Beres-
ford who inaugurated the service as
a regular auxiliary 20 the admiralty.
German Mines at Large.
A recent survey of the German
mine fields revealed more at large
than moored According to The
Hague convention. mines at large
should be sate-the breaking away
from mooringS should automatical-
ly destroy the detOnatOr; it is so
with British mines; the Germans,
on the contrary, have adopted tne
practice Of nearly severing the
chain which pulls out the detonator
and makes the mine harmless when
adrift. Thus the chain often breaks
and the mine floats away still a
menace TO ships.
Minesweeping is done in two
ways Either two ships haul a
sweep" Cor traWD between them, or
single ship throws out a sweep"
which is kept in such a position by
kites that the sweeper can go round
mine field in much the same way
as a reaping machine goes round a
field of corn. When two ships are
working together il is important that
they should maintain station accu-
rately. If one gets ahead of the
other there is a danger that a mine
picked up in the trawl may slide
in upon the rearmost ship and de-
strOy it.
