Wireless plan urged after Valencia wreck inquiry
Federal commissioners led by Lawrence Murray and Herbert Knox Smith, aboard the Columbine, investigated Cape Flattery surf, Tatoosh Island and the Valencia wreck area. They advocate a wireless telegraph system at Cape Flattery, plus a light at Ringbolt Rock, and urge rapid government action amid ongoing hearings with witnesses from San Francisco and survivors returning for testimony.
