D M I R A L B U L L A R D of the U . S. N a v y w as asked:—
“ Suppose, A d m iral, that one boat w as to S O S its latitude
and longitude into the air, and another boat w as somewhere
within a radius of 500 miles and it picked up this S O S call,
how close could the rescuer actu ally go to those needing to
be rescued?”
H e said: “ I f they could go directly towards them, and
actually arrive w ith in ten m iles of them, this w ould be con
sidered excellent seamanship.”
“ A t this distance, A d m ira l, they w ould not be able to see a boat 10
miles over the horizon .”
“ T h a t is tru e ,” said he, “ but they w ould then begin zig-zaggin g back
and forth until they precisely located them.”
