WIRELESS.
LONG-DISTANCE MESSAGES. BETWEEN NEW ZEALAND AND SYDNEY. Received February 28, lu a.m. SYDNEY, February 28. Last Friday night the first wireless message from New Zealand was received by Mr Young, an experimentalist living at Arncliff, about five miles fiom Sydney. He used apparatus fifty feet in height, and with a detector of his own picked up H.M.S. Powerful's signals plainly all the way across to Auckland.
When the flagship had rounded the North Cape the signals became fainter, this probably being due to land coming between. He expects to hold her all through the cruise. On 15th February he picked up H.M.S. Encounter (with Lord Kitchener aboard) when she is about a thousand miles distant. The experimenter also thought he could detect the Powerful speaking to the crusier Challenger on Friday last, and that he could hear the latter replying, although he could not make out the message. He got several long messages from the Powerful.
