SHORT WAVE WIRELESS.
DOMINION TO ATLANTIC. TALK WITH WHALING VESSEL. [by TELEGRArn.—PRESS ASSOCIATION. ] INVERCARGILL. Thursday. A notable wireless achievement has been recorded at the Awarua wireless station, where the operators succeeded in communicating on a short wave experimental set with the whaling ship Sir James Clark Boss, now within one day's steaming of Norfolk, on the Atlantic coast of the United States. After the vessel left Stewart Island early last month the Awarua station kept up communication with her very satisfactorily until the vessel was in the Panama Canal, when the signals failed to get a response. On Wednesday night, however, the operators carried on a conversation with the vessel which was then liear tho Bahama Islands. The Sir James Clark Ross reported that she was proceeding first to Norfolk for coal, and thence to New York to discharge lier cargo of whale oil.
