A Washington dispatch reports Lt. B A Fiske U S N describes a patent for a torpedo steered by a wireless system using Hertzian waves. The device, shaped like a torpedo with rudder and electric steering, is powered by a central shore or ship station and can be steered to port or starboard by varying wave speed. The firing and detonation occur upon contact, with a tuning fork like analogy for wave interaction. The report situates the concept alongside Tesla’s wireless experiments and notes naval ordnance ties through Lt. Fiske in New York.
Read like a vivid historic account of the Lucas gusher near Beaumont. Engineers fought grease and pressure to cap the mighty oil stream on Jan. 9, 1,160 feet deep with a multi-pipe casing. A daring valve frame and coordinated team effort finally halted the blowout and kept the oil from wasting away.
Oil well operations near Lucas culminated in closing the gusher after two days of work. Anchors and a valve controlled a horizontal stream, gauges checked pressure, and 105 pounds of pressure halted all flow. The well is now confined in natural reservoirs with material safeguards installed.

The demurrer was overruled, keeping the case alive for redress against officials and bonds.

It highlights his adventurous spirit and the surprising shift from a genteel youth to a seasoned explorer.
