HAS A STORMY VOYAGE.
John J. Noonan Encounters Terrific
Gale Crossing the Atlantic.

John j. NOonan of 1854 Highland ave-
nue., Cleveland Park. was one of the
passengers aboard the steamer Umifri-
dian which locked in Boston yesterday
six days late after having encountered
a storm that was the worst the captain
of the vessel had seen in his thirty-five
years of sea experience.
Mr.. NOonan was returning from Stuff
CART. Germany, where he had gone to
visit his wife and daughter. Miss Louise
Noonan. who is studying music there,
He said that Immediately after the
steamer had left Liverpool heavy seas
were encountered. At noon on January
10 the barometer dropped lower than the
captain of the steamer had ever seen it.
The storm broke about five o'clock that
afternoon. The wind blew at a rate of
more than 100 miles an hour. this being
the highest rate the ships instruments
could register.
BY midnight several ifeboats had been
smashed. and the wireless and pilot
rooms were flooded. Seeing it was i'm
possible to battle against the storm the
captain turned the boat about and went
in an easterly direction for twenty-five
hours until it subsidized somewhat.
During the storm several passengers

countered.

RADIO INSPECTOR TO BE BUSY.
Will See That Amateur Wireless
Operators Comply With Law.

Under the new regulations govern
ing amateur wireless stations they are
restricted to the use of power not 10
exceed one kilOwatt. as electricians
measure the electric current. and the
wave length of the stations must not
exceed 200 meters. a. c. Pickells. radio
Inspector of the Baltimore district has
been ordered to make an inspection OF
the little stations to see that they are
complying with the new rules
The territory that comes under In
spector Pickells' supervision. known as
the third radio district includes the
District of Columbia. Maryland. Nfr-
ginia. Delaware, the portion of New
Jersey not embraced in the New YORK
district. and of Pennsylvania south OF
the Blue Ridge mountains
Notices advising the owners and
operators as to when the inspection
will be made are to be sent out shortly.
Under the present government regula-
stations are now required to take out
a license. The only expense in connec-
tion with the taking out of a permit is
the charge necessary TO take the Oath
of secrecy before a notary public.
According to Inspector PickellS there
are in operation in Baltimore alone
seventy-four wireless stations. and this
city is thought to have almost that
many. which are mostly conducted by
young men who are interested. The
power in many instances, he stated, is
obtained from the usual electric cur
rent supplied throughout the city. 1t
was said that while these stations are
of limited power. there have been &C.
picked up from all points along the
Atlantic coast. and under favorable
Gather conditions messages are re-
ceived over an astonishingly wide area.

SCHOOL OF WALES SIGHTED.
Play in the Waters Few Miles Off
the Virginia Capes.

large school of whales, disporting
themselves in the Atlantic a few miles
off the Virginia capes. was one Of the
sights Capt. j. H. Canham of the British
steamship Peruviana had to report on
his arrival at Baltimore a few days ago
from Leith, Scotland.
While the nearest of the whales was
about a quarter of a mile away. the
crew of the steamship could that
they We're big ones, and the antics OF
the whales as they spouted water high
in the air and rolled over one another
like boys at play was much enjoyed by
the sailors.
1t is stated that whales are seldom
seen in the vicinity of the Virginia capes
though there have been instances of theil
appearance in Chesapeake bay. and ira
dition has it that once. many many
years ago. a big whale appeared in the
river and was seen one afternoon OIL
Alexandria. Efforts were made to cap
ture the monster. but they were unsuc-
cessful. and his whaleship is supposed to
have returned to the ocean. There have
been reports of whales being seen in the
lower river in recent years, but these re-
ports always lacked verification.

MANY. OYSTERS BROUGHT HERE
At Least Twenty-Five Vessels Are
Lying at the Wharf.

One OF the largest of the fleets of oyster
running vessels that bring the bivalves
from the beds in the lower Potomac and
Chesapeake bay that has been at this
city this season in now lying at the
oyster wharf and the supply aboard the
vessels is said to be sufficient to meet the
a week or longer. even should no other
demands of the Washington market for
Oyster-laden craft arrive.
Last night there were fully twenty-five
vessels lying at the wharf with oysters
aboard and those who visit the wharf to-
day to obtain them fresh shucked and on
the half shell will find no diIlculty in
having their wants supplied and at rea-
sonable prices.
For two or three weeks just before and
after the new year the catch Of oysters
by the tongers and dredgers was small,
due to the fact that many of those
employed in taking oysters from their
beds were at home for holiday. A large
fleet Of vessels from this city gathered in
harbors down the river waiting to load,
and when the 'oystermen returned to work
they all loaded at once and came here.
This accounts for the big fleet of oyster
laden craft at the wharf and for the low
prices at which the oysters are selling in
the wholesale market
