Navy for the task of patrolling and defending the East Coast of the United States during World War I . " Victor " , a wooden - hulled motor - boat constructed at Camden , New Jersey , by Clement A .

Earle , III , in command . World War I service . Operating out of Cape May , New Jersey , " Victor " patrolled the entrance to Delaware Bay for the duration of the war . During her naval service , two incidents stood out to enliven her otherwise uneventful routine ; and both occurred in February 1918 . Engine room explosion . While the boat was on patrol on the 10th of the month , an explosion in the vessel ' s engine room started a fire at 1530 . The crew fought the flames with fire extinguishers and formed a bucket brigade back to the stern . Not having a wireless , " Victor " hoisted distress signals — including an upside down national ensign — fired a gun to attract attention to her plight , and sounded her klaxon horn . Meanwhile , her small boat was manned , lowered , and sent out to obtain assistance as the fire made enough headway to convince some on board that their chance of putting it out was slim . Members of the crew not fighting the fire began to construct a makeshift raft out of doors , tops of berths , hatchways , and tables , while still others moved ammunition astern to prevent its catching fire and exploding . All life preservers were moved on deck , ready for use . However , the dogged efforts of the firefighters brought the blaze under control by 1605 ; and it was completely extinguished by 1610 . Soon thereafter , arrived on the scene and towed " Victor " back to port for repairs . Rescuing crashed seaplane pilot and passenger . On 25 February , while " Victor " lay at anchor at the section base , a seaplane , piloted by Ens . Walker Weed , USNRF , tried to make a landing at Cold Spring Inlet , but instead fell on the opposite side of the base , on the beach . An explosion followed the crash , and the plane burst into flames with its occupants still on board . Sounding " man overboard , " " Victor " and " Emerald " sent boats shoreward with rescue parties . The pilot , Ensign Weed , his clothes afire , stumbled from the blazing aircraft and plunged headlong into the water to extinguish the flames . Meanwhile his passenger , named Bennett , staggered out of the fire but passed out before he could reach the water ' s edge . " Victor ' s " men ran to his aid , extinguished the fire , and saw to it that the injured flyer ' s wounds were dressed and treated . Final duties . " Victor " remained on harbor entrance patrol duties at Cape May , New Jersey , until four days before the armistice which ended the war in Europe . Shifted then to Delaware River patrol duties in the area of the antisubmarine nets , " Victor " sailed for Camden , New Jersey . She was decommissioned there on 21 November 1918 and returned to her owner .
HWU transmitter HWU transmitter is a French facility for transmitting orders to submerged submarines of the French Navy . HWU transmitter , situated near Rosnay at 46°42 ' 47 " N , 1°14 ' 39 " E , is one of the largest radio transmitters in France and is clearly visible on satellite pictures . It uses an antenna carried by several 350 metre tall guyed masts , which are , together with the masts of Allouis longwave transmitter , the tallest structures in France . HWU transmitter works on 18 . 3 kHz , 20 . 9 kHz and 21 . 7 kHz . Its transmissions can be easily received in Europe when the transmitters are active by using a PC soundcard connected to a receiving coil and FFT software . Although the signals are very easy to receive , it may be impossible to decipher them without knowing the cipher and key used in the communications .

Battle of Mount Tabor ( biblical ) The biblical Battle of Mount Tabor takes place during the time of the Book of Judges ( recorded in chapters 4 and 5 ) between Canaan ite forces of the king of Hazor and the Israelite army led by Barak . Biblical account . Background . The army of the king of Hazor , under the command of the mercenary Sisera , harassed the Israelite tribes . Sisera ' s army was much stronger than any Israelite force sent into the field . At this time , the prophetess Deborah was judging Israel . She summoned the general Barak , ordering him to march on Mount Tabor with an Israelite army , promising that she would " deliver them " ( the Canaanites ) into Barak ' s " power " . Barak was hesitant and told Deborah that he would not undertake the campaign unless she accompanied the army . The prophetess scolded Barak , telling him that " you shall not gain the glory in the expedition on which you are setting out , for the Lord will have Sisera fall into the power of a woman . " However , Deborah agreed to come , and the army gathered at Kadesh , its number rising to 10 , 000 . The battle . The Israelites marched to Mount Tabor . Their movements were reported to Sisera , who hastened to the Wadi Kishon , near Mount Tabor . However , a downpour had soaked the ground in the area , significantly slowing the Canaanite chariots in the ensuing mud . The chariots were now almost useless and , when Barak ' s army attacked from Mount Tabor , the Canaanites faltered . Sisera , despite falling from his chariot , was among the Canaanites to escape the battle . Barak was determined not to let them get far , however , and pursued them so thoroughly that , among the Canaanites , " not even one man " survived . Sisera staggered into the tent of Yael , wife of Heber the Kenite , and begged for protection , as the Kenites were not at war with the Hazor Canaanites . Yael hid Sisera and gave him some milk to drink and killed him shortly after by knocking a tent peg through his skull after he had fallen asleep . Thus , when Barak arrived in pursuit of Sisera , he found that Deborah ' s prophecy had been fulfilled .

A number of references including the 1997 edition of The Register of the Victoria Cross list Sergeant Major John Grieve VC ( Crimea , 1854 ) and Captain Robert Cuthbert Grieve ( Belgium , 1917 ) as great uncle and great nephew . This connection was suggested by an article in The Times on 29 May 1964 . The article said John Grieve sent home £75 from the Crimea to Robert Grieve and that if Robert Grieve was his brother and also emigrated , then some relationship may be established between the Crimean VC and an Australian First World War VC , Robert Grieve . However , descendents of both Grieve families have been in contact with each other and have found that they are not great uncle and great nephew .
