vessels will be happy to assist in any way possible by wirelessing

through d'Aguilar meteorological conditions and weather forecasts

in return for local similer information from you which will be muck

appreciated by Shipmasters at sea.

With regard to the ship's charges, I would mention that

all the wireless apparatus etc. onboard/the Company's steamers belong

-ing them to submit the question to that Company, and on receipt

of their reply will communicate with you further.
