USE FOR WIRELESS.
OPOTIKI, Jan. 19. Tlio wireless installation on White Island provides a useful means of communication with Opotiki. While Major Mercer was on tlio island on Sunday a messago was despatched from Opotiki requesting that Jib launch Wailiau be allowed to proceed from tho island to Itaukokore, east of Opotiki, to bring a shepherd who was dangerously ill to tho hospital. The request was granted and the man was brought to the hospital. Ho was found to bo suffering from appendicitis and he was operated upon. As there was no launch availablo here at the time, the uso of wireless probably saved tlio man’s life.
