Island. The officers are perched on
peaks waiting for clear weather to
make It possible for them to obtain
the observations which will connect
the surveys of Prince William Sound
with those of Resurrection Bay. This
triangulation is necessarily of such
accuracy that lines of 50 miles are
computed with errors of only two or
three feet. On the longest lines hell,
ographs 'are used. These are mirrors
which flash the sunlight from one sta.
tkm to the other. The observers using
theodolites measure the angles be.
tween the various stations.
ACCOUSTIC WORK
The radio accoustic work will short,
ly be under way as the special cable
for that work will arrive next week.
This cable will be laid from the shore
stations out to the hydrophones an.
chored in about 10 fathoms of water.
When the ship is sounding off shore
at a distance that makes it impossible
to locate her position from shore, or
in the fog, a T N T bomb is exploded
in the water and the sound travels
until picked up by the hydrophones.
This trips a key and sends signal by
radio back to the ship, while the ex.
ploding of the bomb is registered on
the chronograph and the return sig
nal is also registered. It is then pos.
sible to scale off to a hundreth of a
second the time it has taken the sound
to travel from the ship to the shore
stations. Knowing the rate of travel
of sound thru water, it being 4800 feet
per second, the distance from each
station can then be computed and thus
the exact position of the ship be plot,
ted.
FIRST TIME ALASKA
i This method has been used on the
■Hi Oreerou and Washimgfrfn ooast but |
J this is the first time it has been used
J in Alaska. It is proposed to use it in
i carrying the line of soundings offshore
i to a distance of 60 miles, "which will
i cover all the fishing banks in this lo. j
* cality. The shore stations for this:
J
J work are on Rugged Island and at
J Cape Clear on Montague Island.
MANY ADVENTURES
i The officers and men meet with all
i sorts of adventures* and each day
* brings excitement 'and thrills. Big1
j brown bears are often encountrd, wild
J goats, fox and black bear are common
* occurence. Recently however, one of
J the men hadXa new and unique experi.
i ence. Landing on Chiswell Island a
i colony of sealions were disturbed and
i became very belligerent. One enor.
i
[ mous bull, braver and more ferocious
J t
J than the rest, weighing perhaps around
J 2,000 pounds, became so incensed that t
i he singled out one of the nien to at.
i tack and did not give up the chase
i until he was right into the timber.
■ Speed was the only solution to that
’ problem and those who witnessed it
claim that all records were broken,
as one encounter with the enormous
and strong jaws of the sealion would
be as fatal as with a crocodile.
