WIRELESS FOR LIFEBOATS. LESSONS OF THE TREVESSA " DISASTER.
A Shipping Correspondent writing in m London contemporary says
Now that the thrill occasioned by the safe arrival of the two fifeboats from the ill-fated Arressa has, subsided, those in- terested in shipping are discussing what steps can be taken to minimise thoreisks attaching to open-bont voyages. The Tress continged to send 8.0.8. signala until she sank. The life-hunta remained on the scene of disaster as long as poss sible, waiting for the promised help, but it subsequently became imperative to run efore the wind and sea, with the result that when the seeking steamers arrived. on the spot indicated in the messagea they found an empty ocean. Had one or other of the lifeboats been fitted with s wireless set the agony of those intrepid voyagers would have been materially shortened.
Such a wireless equipment as would enable a ship's hont to sel niessages over a radius of a hundred miles is by no means costly. It would consist of electric batteries and an noctimulator, with other requisite gear, the whole costing little more than £200. Under unfavourable at- mospheric conditions such a set might only be able to communicate for twenty- five miles, but even such a limited rango might well mean the difference between spivation and complete disaster. Some companies whose ships traverse certain of the lonelier stretches of ocean have al ready realised the desinibility of equip ping the boats they curry with wireless The five passenger vessels of the Com- monwealth Government Line each carry two motor lifeboats which are capable of towing ship's fleet of hosts at five knots, and fitted with wireless trans- mitting and receiving sets having a rango of fifty miles. On the North Atlantic the problems of wireless for bonts is not se insistent, as this is the most frequented of the ocean highways, along which traffic proceeds in two well-defined "lanca." At the same time, the matter, has not been lost sight of, and the Cunard and White Star Companies have for some years past. fitted wireless installations in their motor lifeboats.
It is, of course, quite obvious that if the maximum benefit is to be obtained from a boat's wireless the navigators mast be enabled to announce their approximate. position. In the case of the Trevesa's boats the navigational instruments failed, and this suggests the advisability of at tention being devoted to the provision of apparatus which is better adapted for bont work. It is necessary, too, that off- cers should have sufficient training in wireles to guarantee that they under- stand the equipment with which their boata may be provided, and are therefore able to despatch or receive messages.
Another inatter arising out of the won derful example of endurance and resource displayed by the crews of the Tree's boats is that of commissariat Hul the climatic conditions been otherwise than they were it would have been impossible for these renien to cone through their ordeal on a biserit and water ration During the war the Army authorities," as is well known, issued to troops
CMEI-
gency ration consisting of tabloid foods of great sustaining power. Possibly the ad- visability of providing some such ration for ship's boats will now be considered. So far as passengers afe concerned they nre drilled with regard to lifehelts and know the honts to which they are allo- cated. It should, therefore, be a very simple matter to issue rations of this nature in case of an emergency.
