The Chain Starts to Run. How to Plant a Mooring Buoy, in a series of difficult lessons by Coast Guard Buoy Tender, LAUREL. The necessary number of fathoms of chain have been carefully faked down on deck, ready to run out freely at the proper moment. Here we see it starting to go over the side. This is when the men stand clear, for nothing could be more dangerous to life and limb than this linked fury when momentum takes over. One end of the chain leads up through the buoy, held fast by the stopper seen in the buoy's top center. Above the stopper is the ring, to which the ships will moor in due

Note: These scenes of Coast Guard action are laid in a Greenland Fjord.
