s'Lurline Dispatch
Wireless messages were an everyday
occurrence aboard the Matson liner
this trip, Operator Warren being in
communication with both Kahuku and
San Francisco at times, but always
with one station or another through
out the entire trip.
That the wireless has become of ex-
IRENE value may be judged by the
fact that the Lurline received stock
quotation messages from San Francisco
giving the latest figures on Hawaiian
Commercial, Southern Pacific, New
York Central, Amalgamated Copper,
Anaconda Copper and Western Union.
This is new feature of the Pacific
Ocean wireless progress, and the Mat
son line must be given credit for mi
tiating this valuable adjunct to the
daily news service.
