Recruiting Up To Date.

During a recent recruiting voyage to the Gilbert Group, the British Phos phate Commission’s steamer “Triona” was in constant communication with Ocean Island by wireless telephony.
The operator, an A.W.A. man, states that the Assistant Manager of the Com mission on board was able to give daily reports to the Manager at Ocean Island.
The loud speaker was used throughout the voyage, headphones being unneces sary. All the transmissions were con ducted in daylight and only once was a message repeated. This was caused by a nearby spark transmitter jamming the speech.
