DANGEROUS FLOATS
WASHED UP ON BRITISH COAST. FINDER BURNED ON FACE AND ARMS. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. LONDON, March 5. Officials have warned east coast residents of a new danger which is believed to be of enemy origin. It consists of a small drum-like float, the size of a bicycle wheel, carrying a cylinder which causes injuries if mishandled. A man who discovered two on a North Norfolk beach was burned on the face and arms when he was endeavouring to dismantle them. Four more were washed ashore nearby.
