Wanted : Wireless War Tales
��Where is the wireless operator? What is he doing?
The Popular Science Monthly wants topublish true stories of his deeds. They gave Owen Chick a Silver Model of a U-boat which bore the inscription "A memento of the escape of the San Melito after being shelled for forty minutes." A. S. Mackenzie proved himself a wireless hero when a giant wave ripped off a hatch of his ship and swept back the wireless cabin in a clutter of deck wreckage. There wasn't anything left of his wireless apparatus but a mass of junk. But he got his set going and saved the ship in a crisis.
We w^ant to tell the stories of wireless heroes, to show how brave radio operators did their bit in an hour of peril — either sending out messages under a storm of shot and shell or making ingenious repairs, as brave Mackenzie did, when human life Itself depended on a radio call pulsating through the ether.
We will pay for these true stories.
Send them in as quickly as you can. If you are a wire- less operator yourself and It is your own account of what happened to you, so much the better. Don't be afraid to write. We want the facts. If a diagram is necessary, send It with your story. It will be welcome.
