Remarkable wireless telegraphy link from Malta to North Foreland
A passenger liner Mantua achieved wireless contact of over 2000 miles with the English station at North Foreland while en route from Malta to Adelaide via London. On New Year’s Day it linked with HMS Powerful regarding the New South Wales colliery strike. A chess game aboard Fremantle to the Friedrich der Gross lasted 22 moves, won by Mantua’s side after 1x hours’ play. Gympie goldfields show strong yearly totals with large dividends and profits, reflecting sustained state growth.
