A radio message received at Boston says Sir Hubert Wilkins' submarine Nautilus parted company with the United States coastguard cutter Pontchartrain in tho Gulf Stream, 1000 miles east of the Pollock Rip lightship. The Nautilus is proceeding at an easy speed, aided by the current, toward England. Lady Wilkins sailed by the Mauretania from New York to-day to meet her husband, Sir Hubert Wilkins. Prior to her departure Lady Wilkins said she was confident that the Mauretania and Nautilus would meet somewhere in the North Atlantic. She would communicate with her husband by wireless and see him through her glasses. She was sure his expedition to the North Pole would be successful.
