Special Equipment to Save Submarine Victims
Item
Merchant seamen are given a better chance for their lives with new lifesaving apparatus and improvements. Every week the British ministry of war transport tests the latest devices to be offered. At present there are fire-proof hoods for crews of tankers and special suits for protection against exposure that are fitted with electric lights so the wearer can be spotted at night. A completely equipped motor lifeboat includes such things as automatic radio, fire fighting apparatus, signal torch, repair kit and smoke flares. For human needs the boats contain fresh water tanks, vitamin rations, a triple food tank with separated milk tablets, chocolate and pemmican; massage oil, first aid kit and drinking cups.
