When the flag-ship rounded North Cape the signals fainted. This was probably due to land coming between. He expects to hold the warship all through the cruise. On February loth he picked up H.M.S. Encounter with Lord Kitchener aboard, wheii about a thousand miles distant. The experimenter also thought he could detect the Powerful speaking to the Challenger on Friday last, and that he could hear the latter replying, althocgfi tie could not make out the message. He got several long messages from the Powerful.
