having been rather rough, delaying the
vessel somewhat. AS she had only three
hundred tons of cargo aboard, she was
ready for sea late in the afternoon and
shortly after O'Clock sailed for San
Francisco.
Phelps states that from the time he
left San Francisco until his return here
yesterday from the Orient he was never
out of touch of the land stations, and
he expects to be in daily touch with
either KanuKu or San Francisco until
the Korea passes in through the Golden
Gate. The wireless plant has acted in
fine manner throughout and it is be-
lieved that General Manager Schwerin
will order similar plants installed on
the remainder of the Pacific Mail fleet.
The operator states that when he
neared the Japan coast he found, by
wireless, that the Japanese were max
ing much of the feat of the Empress
of India in spanning 1000 miles. News
received from the ship was put into
dodgers and distributed over Yokp-
hama. When Phelps heard of this he
burned up some of the japanese wire
less plants in showing them that 1000
miles was only bagatelle in compari-
son with what the Korea was doing
and he convinced them of the error of
their ways.
After leaving Yokohama Phelps pick
ed up Cavite, in Manila bay, and
"talked,' but did not get much CON
versation in return, as the naval author
tiles are apparently holding down the
lid on wireless matters and use it only
for military and naval purposes. Phelps
was also in communication with the
British fleet off the China coast but
these ships failed in keeping touch
with him, and practically ignored his
offer to "talk. " However, the whole
trip was demonstration of an up.to-
date wireless plant which could reach
out all over the Pacific. At one time he
was in touch with the Great Northern
steamship Minnesota, which, he declares
has fine plant aboard
The night when he caught San Fran
cisco 5000 miles away Phelps was talk
ing with Kahuku, but he states that
Operator Maddams was busy at the
time working on some messages, and he
tuned out for another station and soon
caught the Pacific Coast. His signals
were properly answered and "conver-
sation" ensued.
The Korea brought very little freight
for Honolulu, but is carrying a big lot
| through to the Coast. The Norwegian
steamship Selia relieved the Korea of
Honolulu bound freight so that the big
| antvlH foil full 70 hn
| Coast.
The passenger list of the Korea is
not large this trip, and there was plenty
of room aboard for passengers from
| here. Among those who got off here
was Ed. Lord, who had a pleasure and
business trip all through the Orient and
| returns hale and hearty. When asked
what the auto speed law Is in Japan
he replied that there is nothing doing
AT all in the speed line, which pleased
| him.
