WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
A UNIQUE FEAT.
Electric Telegraph—Press AssociationWellington, Alay 3. The oruiser Challenger accomplished a unique wireless telegraphic feat in maintaining communication with the flagship Powerful, lying in Sydney harbour, throughout the passage to Wellington. Every day European cablegrams were flicked through by operators on the Powerful to the Challenger, and the news was posted up on the latter vessel for the ship’s company to peruse. On Friday evening, at a distance of over eleven hundred miles from Sydney, messages were received without a break, and the latest developments in Turkey were read with much interest by all. Even in AVellington the Challenger was able to get in touch with the Powerful, 1239 miles away.
