A Race with Death. Coast Guardsmen on the International Ice Patrol take to their "Keels" in a race with Death and Time. Experiments in the use of explosives to destroy icebergs have proved the impossibility of such destruction, however, so radio-location and warning are the means adopted by Coast Guard planes and cutters for efficient protection of North Atlantic shipping. The vital watchfulness of the International Ice Patrol will begin again this spring, with the cessation of hostilities at sea, and the annual spring-time arrival of the huge bergs, broken off from northern glaciers.
