General Account
Abroad the Teleru III.
continues.
The evenings run was a
short one to a port held apart
off Catebra where we have
anchored for the night.
Today for the first
time I saw the group
dredging. Two scopes were
taken off San Clemente. The
process is to lower a series
of bags one within the other,
those given are being inserted
for and samples the other
are used to safeguard large marine
life. Three series of bags have
an outer protection of a coarse mesh
kind made which looks like the
chain mail of the knights fold.
The links of this chain work
are of heavy steel and it is
this steel which does the plowing
in the depths. The material
when it is brought up is
partially crushed and settled.
Feb 22 anchor this morning
about 5:30 and headed for
San Diego. Arrived outside the
harbor this afternoon and then
dredging bringing up 3 hooks.
The small boat was put
overboard to and stern trawling
was done for several hours!
