Capt. Fried of the President Roosevelt attempted to use none of the other lifeboats hanging on the davits and without the LUNDIN LIFEBOATS, an innovation of the last decade, Capt. Fried might have been forced to stand powerless on the bridge and watch the freighter go down with all hands. This is a sincere and authoritative endorsement that the ‘“‘Lundin”’ may be accepted universally as the lifeboat for the heaviest seas. In rescuing the sailors of the Italian freighter Ignazio Florio three months ago, Capt. Grening of the President Harding also used Lundins exclusively. Chief Officer Miller spoke with unrestrained en- thusiasm of the Lundin boat, and one of the Roosevelt’s passengers, a veteran of many cross- ings, insisted that no other type of lifeboat could have lived in the waves between the American and British liners.” Welin Davit & Boat Corp. 305 Vernon Ave., Long Island City, N.

Over 150 vessels have the protection of the Kolster Radio Compass. sensational rescues! A heavy sea—steer- ing wheel broken — and position un- known! That was the predicament of the Italian freighter “Ig- nazio Florio.” Sinking in mid-At- lantic—position re- ported approxi- mately 100 miles in error—complete loss seemed to be the fate of the “SS. Anti- noe.” But the ‘President Harding” and the ‘President Roosevelt,’ respectively, with the aid of the Kol- ster Radio Compass, quickly located these two vessels and robbed the sea of its human prey. Locating vessels in distress is but one feature of the Kolster Radio Compass. Geo. R. Putnam, Commissioner of Lighthouses, considers the radio compass the most important navigational instrument provided for use on shipboard since the invention of the magnetic compass.
