At the height of the winter storms which paralysed mutual bombing raids on Britain and western Europe, the Germans have sown "floating islands" complete with beds, food; first aid modi- cines and tobacco in the channel and North Sea for use by avin- tors who are forced down at sea,

These enormous lifebelts have! been placed, according to the paper, at regularly intervals along routes generally used by German places on bombing mis- sions to and from England.

The Islands" consist of large tower buoys which contain сом- fortable shelter. Inside each tower are four beds, clothing, food, med. icines and tobacco. There arc signal flags and flares to enable the stranded airmen to call for help. Extending out from each tower are rubber tubes which are use ns tentacles to enable the pildts who are forced down to steer as close as possible to the "Islands."
