Mr. Marconi evidenced that he was experimenting with an alarm bell for wireless danger calls and was hopeful of success. THE BOAT PROBLEM. (Received 19, 10.5 5a.m.) London, June 18. Sir Norman Hill, chairman of the Board of Trade Advisory Committee, testified that the committee were still considering the question of additional boats. He thought the tonnage basis was the best. It was impossible to carry sufficient boats, ready for launching, to accommodate two thousand passengers, but there should be a substantial increase in the number.
