ttoernent r the hbraiid does job printing op all kinds minesweeping and the men who do it by bar imeus the famous british naval writer in their attempts to paralyze british shipping and as part or their naval offensive the germans are laying mines which are of too types the matmetie mine and the morred impact the magnetic mine ress on the bat torn and does not require to be struck by anything it is sufficient for a ship to pass u to its magnetic field for it to explode thet mines are laid by aircraft which drop them in fairways when conditions are favorable to alrcraf operations dark moonless nights and calm seas they are a tached to para chutes the e mines are also dtstribu ted by submarines and are laid in complete disregard of international law which requires a belligerent to de dare position of a minefield laid in waters accessible to neutral shipping to whom the seas are or should be tree the iirst intimation neutrals are given of the presence of a german minefield is when one of their ships is blown up counter measures consist in towing a magnetic sweep that is to say magnets attached to a wire between two fishing vessels or small craft oier the area in which mines are suspected the mavnets provide the requisite dis turbance to the mines magnetic field to detonate the mine as they pass over it the horned impact mine is moored to a sinker by a length of wire it has a number of horns projecting from it and is detonated by a ship striking horns tr 3ie wire is severed and the mine floats to jie surface it shall be harmless even if a ship strikes the horns a safety device has been introduced into all british mines whereby the tension of the mooring wire alone keeps the mine operative directly that is relaxed if the mine is torn from i s moorings by a storm or the wire is cut by a minesweeping operation the detonator becomes inoperative counter measures against the lm pact mines which are laid by both submarines and surface minelayers consist in towing a the end of a wire an object which floats and is built on the stream lines of a fish by connection to the wire in the vie snlty of this float a board which works on the principle of a rudder the float travels parallel to the towing vessel m the surface and the curve of the wire drawn along beneath the surface an be made to intercept the upright moortiut wire of the mine at any de sired depji this is cut by the strain and the mine floa s to the surface a patrol vessel follows in the wake f the minesweepers several of which follow each other in echelon and by rifle and machine gun fire perofates the mine case which fills with water and sinks to the bottom both these operations involve very skilful handling of wires steel wires is always dangerous under great strain it is likely to part the portion above water springing back like elastic it a ill decapitate a man as effectively as a guillotine and break bones like match stalks wire out of control on the narrow slippery deck of a minesweeper rolling in a heavy sea can behave like a cage lu 1 of mad serpents and be even more dangerous pot this reason the mine sweeping personnel is largely drawn from the hshlng population of great britain these men besides being accustomed to handling wires and living in sxnau rfbips in all weathers have a tradition of hardihood and unassuming cour age they have no illusions about h du ty required of them the trawlers to which they work the fishing vessels to which they are assuctomed conver ted in to minesweepers do some times strike a mine and when they do the trawler usually vanishes with everybody on board if sighted by german aircraft they are bombed and machine gunned they work from dawn to sunset in fair weather and foul in the bitter cold of a north sea winter they are a mrtspoken gentle ftannered breed of men accustomed to the perils of the sea in peace they have accepted the infinitely greater perils of war with imobstrusive gallantry t went out on
