WIRELESS MESSAGE
SAVES VESSEL

Punta Del Gada, Azores. June ~
Wireless telegraphy played a prom
inent part In the saving of the crew
and passengers of the Cunard Liner
Slavonia. which today Is a total wreck
two miles southwest of Flores Island
The wireless feat of the steamer Re
public was equalled. If not excelled.
1t was shortly before midnight of
W ednesdays June 9, that tho wireless
distress signal was received on board
tho Princess Irene, The operator
answered and Immediately got a mes
sage IN reply saying the Slavonia was
ashore, giving her location and asking
the Princess Irene to come to her as
Sistance.
AT this time the Princess Irene was
$50 miles distant from the Slavonia
Her course was changed, and she went
ahead full speed, 10 knots an hour, TO
the designated location, two miles
southwest of Flores Island. The Prln-
zess Irene arrived alongside the
Slavonia Thursday afternoon. All
Thursday night was taken up with
the transfer. and the 10 passengers.
men, women and children, were on
board by daylight The transfer was
made without single accident
Early Friday morning, the Princess
Irepe left the Slavonia for Gibraltar.
Iu the meantime. the wireless calls
for help, sent out by the Slavonla.
had been heard by the Hamburg
American line steamer Batavia, which
also fastened to the scene of the
wreck. The intermediate and steer.
age passengers of the Slayonia were
transferred without accident to that
vessel
There remained on board the Sla-
vonia only the members of her crew,
bur according TO the latest information
received here. the entire ships com
pany left the wreck and went ashore
at Velasek on the Island of Flores
some time on Friday morning. At
that time, the Slavonia was full OF
water, and she was a total wreck.
The Princess Irene. which left New
York June 8, went out Of port with
a full passenger list and while the ad-
dition of 40 passengers from the
Slavonia viii crowd her accommoda-
tions. the discomfort will not be for
long, as sbe should reach Gibraltar
Sunday night or Monday morning
The Batavia has better accommodate
tions for intermediate and 3teeragc
passengers than has the Princess
Irone. and this Is probably why the
second and third class passengers
were transferred TO the Hamburg.
American liner.
