EMERGENCY KITS
FOR USE BY RESCUED SEAMEN. NATIONAL PATRIOTIC BOARD ACTION. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The National Patriotic Fund Board has adopted a scheme similar to that inaugurated about two years ago by the Merchant Navy Comforts Service. London, for the provision of emergency rescue kits for sailors whose ships have been lost at sea. These rescue kits, the contents of which include warm underclothing, socks, shoes, scarves, handkerchiefs, belts, trousers and pullovers, are carried by destroyers, sloops, corvettes and other vessels of the Royal Navy for instant use by seafarers saved from ships sunk by enemy action. The Patriotic Board is undertaking the responsibility of providing similar kits for placing on board New Zealand vessels in the South Pacific. The Navy League War Council, as the expending agent of the board, has agreed to undertake the work of assembling and packing the kits.
