Description

Shots of low-flying aircraft over the sea, followed by scenes of a launch / lifeboat being raised up the side of a ship. A pulley system is seen being set up between that ship and another, and supplies are transferred. There are also shots of a man leading ducks down a path, and then the ducks walking into a pen.
