The envelopes are expected to drift ashore in time and the finders are asked to complete the enclosed cards and send them to the National Institute of Oceanography, nr. Godalming, Surrey. Each card carries an award of 2/6d, and is printed in eight different languages. The cards are numbered and the date and position at which each was dropped will be recorded. It will thus be possible to work out the approx speed and directions of the currents which will give a lead as to the direction taken by oil dropped from ships at various points.
