TIIR LOSS OF 'M2'
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—In regard to-the recent tragedy of the Submarine "M 2 ! it scents aniazing that with all the inventions for the provision of apparatus for escape from a sunken submarine, no provision of any kind seems to have been made for the localizing of the
site of the disaster. -• Surely the release of a marking buoy on a cable connected to the subinarine would be a comparatively simple matter. One or more could be released by a trigger device and would thus afford not only a means of locating the position of the sub- marine, but by containing a telephone circuit incorporated in the cable would provide telephonic communication between the submarine and the surfacte.—I am, Sir, stic.,
