Tomorrow the United States sup
plyship Glacier, Commander William
Hogg, leaves this port for Suva, where
her wireless apparatus will be kept
sparkling in touch with vessels of the
fleet en- route to the Antipodes. 1t
is the desire to as far as possible
maintain wireless communication,
connecting with the cable. This was
followed on the fourteen-thousand
mile journey from Hampton Roads to
San Francisco, scarcely a day passing
without Washington hearing, by way
of the wireless, the cable and the
telegraph of the doings and move
ments of the feet, and communication
Was almost constant between San
Francisco and Honolulu. With the

ranged, she will go to Lahaina
