How the men of the Brilish freighter Heronspool fought a running battle with a U-boat for seven hours and, after the ship had been sunk, drifted in leaking boats till they were picked up by the U.S. liner President Harding, was told by the fourteen-year- old mess boy, Frank Elders, of Hartlepool,

The gun is lowered to the bottom on a cable, and is fired automatically. The explosion drives a hollow metal tube deep lalo the ocean floor. When the tube is hauled to the surface it contains a cross section of "core" of the ocean bottom sediment which has been slowly accumulating for millions of years, states the British United! Press.

Deep-sea radium deposits are be- iloved to have played an important part in the past history of the earth, perhaps influencing the formation of ocean basins and the development of the earth's crust. The expedition hopes to shed new light on these problems.
