Coast Guard Has
Other Jobs Than
Rum Ship Chase
Protects Shipping, Breaks ITp
Ice in Harbors,
Part of Navy in
Wartime.
R.v ROBERT S. THORNBURGH,
International Nrwi (terries Staff
Correa pendent.
Washington, Nov. 22.—In the spec
tacular warfare of the United States
coast guard against ths tidal wave
of liquor that has flooded the shores
of the country since the prohibition
amendment went Into effect, sight has
been almost lost of a function of this
romantic arm of the naval service.
That function comprises the ren
dering of assistance to vessels In dis
tress and the saving of life and mari
time property.
From end to end of the United
States' 10,000 miles of coastline, ves
sels and small boats of the coast
' guard patrol day and night, watching
and waiting for SOS signals of dis
tress that they may fly to the as
sistance of those In trouble on the
seas.
While charged with the enforce
ment of the customs laws, which
means that the coast guard has the
duty of trying to stem the tide of
smuggled liquors, officials of the
service are much prouder of their
accomplishments In life-saving work.
Other Duties.
Included In other duties are the
following:
The destruction and removal of
wrecks, derelicts and other floating
dangers to navigation.
Extending medical aid to Ameri
can vessels engaged In deep sea fish
ing.
Operating *s a part of the navy
In time of war, or when the presi
dent may dlrert.
Enforcement of laws relating to
quarantine and neutrality.
Suppression of mutinies on mer
chant vessels.
Enforcement of law to provide for
safety of life on navigable water*
during regattas and marine parades.
Protection of game and the seal
and other fisheries of Alaska.
International Ice patrol in ^the
vicinity of the Grand Banks off New
foundland.
President Coolldge will Issue an
executive order probably next month,
making an official assignment of the
ccast guard cutters to th* duty of
proteetion of navigation In December,
January and February, ths danger
month? for coastwise shipping. An
nualb- the president makes this as
signment of duty.
Dad Winter Loom*.
Prospect, of a bitter winter have
led th? roast guard officials to start
unusual preparation* for thetr life
saving work off the northeastern
coast this year.
Heavy cruising cutters are under
repair, and smaller boats are being
equipped to take part in th* winter's
battle against icebergs, gales, Ice
bound ports and other eventualities of
■the cold months, which annually take j
th«it toll of lives and property.
Two cutters—th* Tampa and the
jj a he p ide of 'be mast guard
flee:, are expected to be assigned to
th" international ice patrol to keep
tratisnt! nt,i< shipping lanes Informed
of the whereabout of icebergs. These ;
ships are armed with heavy guns and
other v “.aeons to blast the menacing |
mountains of ice to splinters.
C .'M r.-uard officials anticipate one
of the severest winters since 1917.
They said one of their heavy dutie.s
this winter would be the keeping free
from Ice of the harbors of cities along
the Maine coast and harbors of isl
ands off the Maine shore.
Guard Fishing.
These Islands, it was stated, are
the dwelling places of thousands of
fishermen, who furnish one of the
big food supplies to the eastern cities.
Dependent almost entirely upon the
mainland for food and fuel It Is es
sential fob the Islanders that the
harbors be kept, open In order that
provision ships may rnler.
I,nst winter hundreds of telegram?
were received by the coast guard
from officials of Maine urging that
cutters be sent to break up the Ice |
In harbors. Two vessels were badly
damaged In this work.
It was expected that ths coast
guard would endeavor to have In
cluded In Its annual appropriation
provision for the building of a regu
lar Ice breaking ship, regarded as
neebssary, In view of the class of
work the organization is called upon
to perform.
Equipment of the coast guard Is
being improved rapidly ns the re
suit of fund* provided by the last
congress. Hundreds of small hut fast
launches ars under eonstructlon or
already in service, principally for use
In fighting th« Illicit rum traffic.
The heavier equipment of the
coast guard, comprising large cut
ters similar in size to th* Mayflower,
the presidential yacht, hut equipped
for mor* serious duties. Is said to he
in had repair. Considerable money
will he required to hulld new cutters
and Improve those already In use.
Among the vessels suffering most
severely In the last year was the
famous cutter B»ar.
More Than Half Peoplt*
