Wireless scored another triumph when the 150 passengers of the steamer San Gil were rescued by the steamer San Blas before the former vessel foundered. “Help, quick !” were the last words received from the wireless operator of the San Gil, which was off the coast of Jamaica while bound for Havana. Previous messages had said that the weather was heavy, that the ship was pounding to pieces, and that the passengers were making ready to take to the boats.

The San Gil, which was owned by the Unifruit S.S. Co., Boston, and engaged in the West Indies fruit trade, was a modern steamer of 3628 tons, built at Belfast in 1920. She was fitted with submarine signalling apparatus and refrigerating space. The San Blas, owned by the same company, is a sister ship, built at the same time.
