Timmis, R.N., in oom- , mand of tha British oil-tanker War Sudra, - reports that tho dry compos? card fitted in that vessel oscillated through 8 to 10 points ■ each time the whistle was blown. Careful investigation demonstrated that the compass and its card were in perfect condition, ■find the trouble was overcome by altering(the tone of thq whistle.
