his friends. for some time that Mc
Lean had become tired and weary

and the refusal of the sender to dis-
close his ldentlty. although questioned
by the shore stations, led to the be-

could not be verified. The caller sign-

was on board a coal steamer. All

Telefunken call. ' ’ '
The first of the wireless fiashes was
received at 1:50 a. m., and the sender
was told by me shore stations that
the telefunllen station was then closed.
An hour later the sender asked the
shore station at Sea Gate to ascer-
tain when the telefunken station
would be opened.
