RADIO BEACONS.
ROUND NEW ZEALAND COAST. MARINER'S SUGGESTION-. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON", Monday. In the opinion of Captain Greenhill. master of the cargo vessel Anglo-Cana-dian, which was engaged to-day in loading wool at Wellington for the United Kingdom, radio beacons- should be established round the New Zealand coast. It was an urgent need, he said, and would .do much to assist overseas vessels in approaching Dominion ports. There were many times, said Captain Greenliill, when rain and low-lying clouds made it impossible to take astronomical observations. He said that on his trip from Australia to Picton he encountered cyclonic weather and the sky wa's completely overcast. He had been fortunate in establishing the Anglo-Canadian's position with the assistance of another ship, otherwise a i delay would have been occasioned.
