Wireless Communication at Sea
What a great change has taken place in this old earth the last few years thru mechanical inventions! It was but a short time ago that when a ship left the coast of any country for the wide ocean it was lost until it touched again at some port or happened to meet some other ship on its way; but now thru wireless telegraphy and wireless telephony the ocean is "trackless" no longer. For instance, Admiral Evans' fleet a few years ago would not have been heard from for weeks, and the vessels of the fleet themselves would very likely be separated in a very short time. Now, however, they ring each other up by telephone, and their wireless telegraph operations are quite sufficient to pick up a ship with a day's run between them.
