"Wireless" Triumph.
The De Forrest Company claims to have transmitted 572 words across the Atlantic from Coney Island to Ireland, a distance of 3,280 miles, by wireless telegraphy. Altogether 1,000 words were sent, and out of these 428 were lost on the broad Atlantic. Hitherto the longest distance covered by the company was 2,100 miles, between Coney Island and Colon, Panama. It is believed that commercial wireless telegraphy across the Atlantic only awaits the complete equipment of the Irish stations.
