Five of the capsized fisherman had drowned before the swimmers reached them, but it was no trick at all for Kahanamoku and his followers to buoy up 13 survivors, drag them across their boards, catch a wave and rush their gasping passengers ashore in relays.

Vidar Jernberg, Swedish chemical engineer, makes thick and plentiful fogs with a two-foot machine, of value both in warfare and in agriculture. His "smoke buoy", when dropped upon the water, starts producing 35,000 cubic metres of smoke a minute, hiding objects 30 ft. away. The "smoke projector", for land work, generates fog much faster.
