ing the location of our wireless sta
tons were as follows:
At Nawiliwili Kauai; Kaena Point,
Oahu; Waialae. Oahu; Ka Lac IA
Laau, Molokai: Keomuku, Lanai; La
In sending a message to Hawaii from
Honolulu, when the poles were thus
located, it was necessary to relay
through the stations on Molokai and
Lanai TO Mahukona. In like manner,
a message for Maui had to be relayed
Molokai and Lanai to LahaIna.
The stations at Kaena Point, Oahu, and
Nawiliwili. Kauai. proved a failure,
owing to the close proximity Of the
high mountains in the rear OF the one
al Kaena Point.
1t present our stations are located as
follows: At Nawiliwii. Kauai: BARRIERS
Point. Oahu; Kamalo. Molokai; La
haina, Maui and Puako. Hawaii. Mes
sages for Maui from Honolulu. ire now
sa1t direct from BARRIERS pr:'rt Oahu.
