DID BRASS BAND ON GEIER
COVER NOISE MADE WHEN
SECRET WIRELESS WORKED

Blunders at times ludicrous are
shown in relief many places in the
Grasshof diary, but in none better than
at mention OF kilograms received
from the mainland, regarding the sub
marine scare in the South Pacific.
The report Of a German submarine
in the South Pacific is true" said
the message which was sent here.
Circulate this report widely"
1t Is known now that no German
submarine ever reached the South
Pacific, but obviously had there been
enc its operations and the word of it's
presence would have been kept secret
as long as possible by the Germans.
The appearance of a German official
wirelessing a lie to his accomplices
here and expecting them not only to
report it but also to believe it is
funny enough to laugh at
This is a sample of the desperate at
tempts to brighten shipping, and it
will be remembered how generally
widespread the story became.
The question naturally arises as to
how IL would have been possible for
wireless messages to have been sent
from the Geier without the teILtale
sputter Of the instruments giving
knowledge Of wnat was going on inside
the vessel.
1t will be remembered, however,
that the Geier crew had a band
. a brass band of considerable size
and volue. 1t is easy to believe
therefore that during the evenings
when that band was playing its fav.
orite tunes down below another
tune, accompanied by alternating
flashes of light from a wireless instru-
ment of no mean power, was being
played by one of the numerous "oper-
ators" mentioned in Grasshof's diary.
The listening in" could be done quiet
ly and at all hours OF the day, as it
evidently was, judging from Grass.
