Every other obstacle In the way of nuvigation has been surmounted. But fog is still untamed. Often it comes without warning, the result of qui in ocean | or air currents, temperature, or at- {| mospheric pressure, It strikes the navigator blind! True, he has his charts and in- struments. But what good are | these if he cannot see the around him or the sky above? His only course is to steam for- §| ward by what Is called “dead reck- § oning.” He knows his location | when the fog drops, knows the | | dircction he is going and the speed | B | at which his ship is traveling. | Armed with this knowledge, he M| can figure his position on the chart | —approximately—as his ship plows Bl | through the waves. | This enables him to avold rocks i and reefs—sometimes. dead reckoning goes wrong. La Honda Disaster The La Honda disaster, California coast, furnished proof of this, Seven destroyers of the battle fleet were traveling through fog at a speed of 20 knots. Their object was to turn in to shore, but a se- ries of jagged reefs had first to be passed. Dead reckoning told the ecom- ‘ mander of the first destroyer that #A| the place to turn had been reached. !He changed his course, the others 8 followed in line. Suddenly the roar of breakers {' was heard. The destroyers tried to swerve, to reverse. Too late—their speed was too great. One after the other the seven ships piled up on the jagged rocks. The command- er's dead reckoning had been wrong—and fog collected another tol T T terrible en when dead true it takes no account of mov- ing obstacles, of icebergs and other ships. e glant liner Titanic was hur- tling through the waters of the Vorth Atlantie on the night of April i[15-16, 1912, Tt was her maiden We Qpecnalnc ocean | Sometimes | oft tho | reckoning 1s | Large Head Sizes 50 voyage and she was striving for & record, Suddenly an iceherg loomed out of the mist. Theu came the crash, Followed one of the horrible tragedies of maritime history—a glant ship, its steel ribs crushed, seitling slowly into its watery | grave; hundreds of men, women |and children screaming and strug- gling in the icy waters; hundreds of lives added to the ghastly toll of fog. Try to Fight It. Naval scientists are now trying to combat ' fog by figuring out a suit. | able modification of “Cottrell's Pre- cipitator.” | 'The precipitator, named for its {nventor, Dr. F. G. Cottrell, is a de- vice for making tiny particles in the air collect into larger masscs, Powerful electrie currents are used. When the particles form in larger bodies they drgp to the ground. | The original purpose of the pre- cipitator was to “lay” smoke and | fumes belched from factories and |furnaces and thus prevent thelr / | spread. The naval investigators have | hopes that the precipitator principle can be used to.dispel fog off a ship's bows. With this in view they are studying the composition of fog, |trying to figure out a modification of Cottrell’'s device that will apply |to 'its particles as well as to par- ticles of smoke.
