Immediately the ciieratir In the two

HOW THE CHART MEN LOCATE

When all waa ready one or the tiovern

nine buoya towing the three red-palntcd,
raft-like targets, each tliiuntlng a red
hag. Vwo hundred yards of rope waa
paid out on one of the targets and then
passed through a ring In the buoy rope
uf the mine and made faal to the atern
of the launch. Onward came the launch,
