It is difficult to convey in a few sentonces the extent of the toil. through which these sight vessels have passed during the past months, Soundings alone aro gigantic Inhour when it is appre ciated that each of the four shipa woruad have made 4 charta, each of which charts contains about 35,000 soundings. In shallow water ouch sounding is made by hand with a load-line from an open bent -a weary task under tropical suns nad often in torrential downpoura,

H.M.S. Iroquois returns home in January, and it is understood that her officers will transfer to the new surveying vessel H.M.S. Challenger, which was designed for the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, but which has been taken over by the Admiralty.

She has the phenomen al radius of action of 9,000 miles, which foreshadows many a long and adventurous voyage in northern water far from fuelling bases of any kind.

The vessels of the British surveying vessel service will not be dirarmed, for their work for the good of humanity no one, dis- putes:
