This queer thing had come to her in the middle of lunch and had made her heart suddenly begin to race. If she had been given to self analysis, which she was not, she might have told herself that she had received a wireless message from some one as lonely as herself, who had sent out the S.O.S. call in the hope of its being picked up and answered.
Those of the people who prefer, still inhabit their caves, but many are building houses similar to ours. At Greenwich we have located a town and an observatory though there is nothing to observe but the stationary sun directly overhead. Upon the edge of the Land of Awful Shadow is another observatory, from which the time is flashed by wireless to every corner of the empire twenty-four times a day.
The place doesn't seem to have a single industry of its own; but then, as I said elsewhere, there is hardly an established industry in the Protectorate. There is one thing about Windhuk that grips your attention and holds it in no uncertain manner, too. One of the great objectives of the South-West campaign was to secure the Windhuk wireless station.
It seemed extremely probable; in such event these Germans would have been notified instantly by wireless from the New York bureau of their country's Secret Service; whereas, Captain Osborne, receiving the same advice by wireless, might reasonably have kept it quiet lest the news stir to more formidable activity those agents of the Wilhelmstrasse whose presence among the passengers he must at least have strongly suspected.

I have fought fire in the forest. I have spent weeks in the mountains. And I am a wireless operator, sir. Are any of your patrols better qualified?" The forester looked at him with renewed interest.

The simplest kind of a wireless telegraph transmitter consists of: a source of direct or alternating current, a telegraph key, a spark-coil or a transformer, a spark gap, an adjustable condenser and an oscillation transformer.
If you could only work that wireless messages are coming in all the time the last three days " "I can," said Beany. "Then you will get some news sure. Do you speak German?" "No," said Beany hopelessly. "I do," said Hen. "All right," said the Weasel feebly. "Remember, if he man is there, shoot to kill shoot to kill!" "I'd like to get the police," said Beany.
