WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
The importance of wireless telegraphy to vessels arriving from over-sea was demonstrated as the flagship Powerful neared Sydney last week. The Powerful and most of the other vessels of the squadron are fitted with wireless apparatus, and her position was known to the naval authorities for some hours before before she appeared in sight of the Heads. This is not the first time that wireless messages have been ex-
changed between the warships, the system was used off the coast when the Powerful was on her first voyage to Sydney. But this
is the first occasion on which it has been by a vessel coming across the sea, AP*-order to make her whereabouts known to the shore.
