Warn Against
lap Mines
The Navy Department re
ports that a large number of
Japanese mines that drift ashore,
some of which reach Alaska, are
exploding on contact with the
beach, 'this corroborates infor
mation received from the Japan- j
ese that mines manufactured
during the latter days of the war
did not have adequate safety
features to render them safe up
on breaking away from their
moorings as required by inter
national law. A statement issued
by the Commander, Alaska Sea
Frontier, Kodiak, says:
"In the last months 3 of these
mines have drifted ashore near
Ketchikan and have been de
stroyed by the Coast Guard.
More of these mines will probab
ly drift to Alaskan ghores in the i
future. From the above it is ap
parent that such mines may be
in a fully armed condition. These
mines are very apt to detonate
on striking the beach or while
rolling in the surf. Such mines
even after beaching should be
considered in an armed condition.
Therefore all persons are warn
ed of the extreme danger of
watching mines while adrift near
shore or approaching or tamper*
ing with mines in any manner
under any conditions. If a mine
is sighted, it should be reported
immediately to the Coast Guard,
or if no Coast Guard represent
ative can be reached, to the U.
S Navy.
“Cooperation in this regard
may save your life and that of
others.
