SUBMARINE SALVAGE
NEW ITALIAN INVENTION. USE OF LUMINOUS BUOYS. ROME, Sept. 16. An invention for locating and raising sunken submarines has been successfully tried out at Palermo. It consists of a double arrangement of fittings which are attached to submarines and salvage ships. When a submarine founders luminous buoys attached to the side by cords will float to the sur face of the water and enable salvagers to locate the submarine.
The salvagers can detach the buoys and wind up the cord. A metal cylinder fitted with rings is let down. The cylinder and rings as they strike the submarine catch hooks, by which the vessel can be hauled up. The inventor is a Sicilian, Simone Monasteri.
