"S.O.S. —DISTRESS”
SEA MYSTERY BEHIND RADIO CALLS UNKNOWN SHIP IN PERIL Reed. 11 a.m. SYDNEY, To-day. A sea mystery lies behind messages received in Sydney from the Townsville radio station, Queensland. Apparently some, unknown vessel is in distress in Japanese or North Pacific waters; but no station has been able to pick up the call letters giving the ship’s name. Yesterday Townsville heard an S.O.S. radioed three times, followed by the word “Distress.” Although all the Japanese and Malay coastal radio stations were audible, nothing was heard of anJ t ’‘ s ' tress traffic being worked by these stations.
