An army of Volunteers are working ceasingly, getting down to the job of closing a gap in the shattered sea walls of the island of Schouwon in Holland. Photo shows Slowly, in calm, sun-dappled waters, a strange shape is hauled into place by a tug. It is a mattress, about 40 yards square. It is off to help close a gap in the shattered sea walls of the island of Schouwon, in Holland.
