Operator May Be Exhausted

One explanation advanced was that the wireless operator Of
the Carpathia was exhausted as a result of his three days work
at the key. But among the list of rescued on board the Carpathia
is the second wireless operator of the Titantic, who might have
been counted upon TO relieve the Weared sender of the Cunarder.
\ censorship appeared TO exist on the Carpathia which pre-
vented any response to inquiries of what had taken place after the
Titantic struck the iceberg. The wireless operator on the Car
pathia is an officer of the Cunard Line and therefore subject to the
ships commander.
Despite appeals that wireless communication with the Car.
pathia be restricted to authorized messages from recognized wire
less stations, the criss-cross of wireless waves over the sea toward
the rescue ship continued during the greater part OF the night to
interfere with legitimate attempts at transmitting messages to and
from the liner. Around midnight an appeal was made to Secre
tary of the Navy Meyer to see if anything could be done to reduce
the congestion. In reply the following message was received from
the secretary:
Replying to your telegram, orders have been issued to all
ships at sea and at the navy yards not to attempt TO call the Car
Ipathia. The Chester will relay a list of thirdclass passengers
saved when convenient. Have notified Newport not to lntereiere.'
