WIRELESS CALL FOR A SURGEON.
The White Star liner Baltic on a voyage from Queenstown to New York, received a wireless call from the liner Mimiewasku for immediate surgical assistance. The ship's course was altered immediately, and in two hours she came up with the MinneAvaska, in which a child, aged seven years, daughter of Professor Fairehild, of Yale University, was suffering from an internal complaint. Dr. Greame Robertson, the Baltic's surgeon, and the Minnewaska's treated the little one and after three hours' attendance she had improved so much that Dr. Robertson was able to return to the Baltic.
Both steamers were travelling in the same direction and as soon as Dr. Robertson was put aboard the Minnewaska "full speed ahead" was rung down to the engineroom, and thus both ships travelled until the Baltic's surgeon was about to return to his own vessel.
