It will be recognised that in case of foundering inthe open sea such a buoy has a better chance of beingpicked up than the old-fashioned bottle. It may be pointed out that the stranding buoy isalso a lifebuoy fairly able to support two or three per-sons in the water. In this case the buoy is providedwith a store of provisions within its body. • For bring-ing a line on board a pilot boat in a high sea the buoywould also serve another useful purpose. ^. 36 Stranding Buoy.
