our wireless on their Marconi spark
set which has range OF only thirty
miles. She heard us but did not see

pletely hidden by the clouds She gave
us her position as latitude 81 degrees,

as follows .

Suffrcn, Master
"Thcy were very surprised and
most interested to hear that we were
the K "a bound for New York and
wished us every possible luck.
$50 p gm.--Messag.s were received
from both II. NJ s. battle cruisers
Tiger and Renown which had been
previously sent by the admiralty out
into the Atlantic TO assist us with
4 weather reports and general observa-
ton. They reported respectively as
follows
"II NJ. 6. Tiger--Position % de-
grecs. 50 minutes north, 70 degrees, so
minutes west. l,017 millibars, falling
slowly, thick log
"li NJ s Renown Position 20
degrees north, 2S west l,02 millibars
falling slowly, cloudy visibility four
miles
Harris deducted from these reports
that there was no steep gradient and
that therefore there was no ndica-
tions Of strong wind in that part OF
the Atlantic.
