MANY LIVES SAVED

Ships Lost in Fog Can Now

1ogsy weather, have robbed the sea
oi many or its victims. say New Eng
iand Seafaring men.
| Last year, with but twentv-nine
stations in operations. the naval men
| informed the captains of 1914 fog
shrouded vessels of their location and
mus enabled them to lay their
courses to their ports of destination.
! An average time of four to six min
utes was required to make the calcu-
iatlons upon which this information
was based.
How Il wireless station on shore

/ IN the fog just where his vessel is
| seems something like a miracle to a

| TO the operators of the system. 1t
| works this way: The radio operator
in compass station on shore picks
out of the air the letters % T E.
| flashed from vessel lying perhaps
| 100 miles or more off shore In the
! International code these letters mean
! What is my true bearing?" And these
/ queries are coming to the shore sta
! ton with such increasing frequency
as to testify to the dependence which
ship masters are placing on this mod
! ern aid to navigation.
J Once the signal is heard the radio
| operator adjusts his radio compass to
| meet the direction whence it comes.
! This compass is merely a rectangular
! coil of wire mounted on vertical
| plane and fixed to turn so as to face
| in any direction. 1t acts like me-
chancal car. and from it the opera
| tor can tell clearly the direction
| whence the lost vessels call came.
/ That means that he can tell in what
| direction the vessel lies from him.
! Other stations along the shore also
| act in the same way. and these report
! to a central station and compare
| notes.
! If the ship lies east from one sta
; ton and south from another the
! point where these lines cross is the
! ships location. Once this is done
| the wireless operators on shore have
| only to tell the ships master his
position in terms of latitude and
longitude.
