A notableovireless achievement has been recordecT\at the Awarua wireless station where the operators succeeded in communicating on* a short wave experimental set with the whaling ship Sir James dark Ross, now within one day's steaming of Norfolk on the Atlantic coast, United States. Ever since the vessel left Stewart Island, early last month, the Awarua station has been keeping up communication with very satisfactory results until the vessel was in the Panama Canal, when the signals failed to get a response. On Wednesday night the operators carried on a conversation with the vessel which was then near the Bahama Islands. The Sir James Clark Boss reported that she was proceeding first to Norfolk for coal and thence to New York to discharge her cargo of whale oil.
