PACIFIC CABLE BOARD.
DUPLICATION SCHEME. WIRELESS IN THE PACIFIC. (From Our Own Correspondent.) LONDON, July 29. A meeting of the Pacific Cable Board was held this week. Sir James Allen being present. The members had under consideration the report which has been drawn up by experts who have been experimenting in wireless transmission in the Pacific. The question of the duplication of the submarine cable on the Fiji-Fan-ning Island-Vancouver route was also considered. So far as the wireless experiments were concerned, the report stated that the Pacific was exceptionally favourable for this form of communication. A new form of submarine cable is in use on a section of the Azores, and another new variety of cable is being manufactured at the present time. The board considered that it was advisable to wait until both these new cables had been subjected to exhaustive trials before committing themselves to further expenditure either with regard to wireless or the duplication of the Fiji-Fanning-Vancouver route.
