MyThirtyYears %y CAPTAIN GEORGE FRIED (As far back as 1965 wireless gave Fried a thrill. Then it was personal messages, A few ycars later it was in connection with a rescie when he sought a view of a radio operator hero under circumstances similar to those in which he years af- terwards was to be the central figure. His first ship to shore saudible communication is de- secribed as a “real thrill.”) By OGAPT. GEORGE FRIED (Copyright, 1929, Associated Press) » | CHAPTER VII -One of the greatest values of modern day science to the men at sea is the wireless. Prior to the aevelopment of the radio, ships raveling from port to port werei’ ver In cemmunication with each | other nor with the shore. I recall, before wireless service, taking the ship’s chronometer to he nearest telegraph or cable sta- ion to get the correct time to de- ermine the instryment’s error and rate. Of course it was necessary to wait for the flash that indicat- & the correct time. ‘Whoever carried the chronome- ter had to be extremely careful— in fact, it had to be transported much in the same fashion as you would carry a basket of eggs. It was absolutely essential the chronometer away from any lelectrical 'influences such as motors and trolley cars, and you'had to | throughout the ship. to keep | | quently it lcarefully select a conveyance be- |sent by telegram or cable. cause the instrument was extremely delicate and could not be jarred. The first thrill that I got from the radio was when I was aboard the cruiser Minneapolis. The Navy alled a crystal receiving set and the first night there was con- siderable excitement when word spread that we were to receive news dispatches from shore. Every night while at sea men would con- gregate in the radio room to get | these reports first hand. The news celved would spread gqulckly Introduction of this novelty cre- ated considerable excitement. Fre- ‘quent!y messages written on radio- gram sheets would be found lying in different parts of the ship. These messages would sometimes say that we were to head for a different port or that we would turn about and start at once for home instead of following the original itenerary. These reports, of course, were er- { roneous and were dropped on the decks with the idea of freating a sensation. It was no‘ ‘cng be- fore the hoax was discovired. The captain of the vessel then issued an order saying that anyone writ- ing a false reporj=o. spreading ru- more purporting to come from the ! radio room would be severely pun- ished. Personal messages were ac- | cepted for transmission in the early days about 1905 but there was never any guarantee of delivery. was necessary to hold these messages until the vesscl reached port and= they could”be Fre- While this made. a- tremendous impression upon me, I realized the advantages of this new develop- ment in science, particularly as it referred to myself and other sea- farers. ‘The radio was first used in saving lives in January, 1909, when the steamer Florida and the Republic crashed during a fog off Nantucket Lightship. = You willl, probably recall that the radio oper- ator, Jack Binns of the Republic, was the outstanding heto and when the rescued crew returned to New York, I happened to be in port and made every effort to get a glimpse of Jack to find out what a hero really looked like. The wireless has been used to to the injured and sick on variou: ships that did not carry decto: Every ship carries a medicine lock- er as part of its equipment. When a man Is injured or is ill, the cap- tain of the ship frequently com- municates by radio with the near- | est vessel carrying a physician. The symiptoms or description of the in- jury are given in detail and the doctor prescribes accordingly. In this way the pain of the sufferer is relieved and cures are many times effected. Another thrill experienced with radio occurred when I was chief.of- | ficer of the America in 1921 Ex-| periments were being conducted in\ wireless telephony = between the! America and shore stations. The| America was 450 miles off the |coast approaching New York when | Capt. William Rind and I and sev- eral others talked to a number of | persons ashore. This was really a thril. The America was in a heavy sea, The men with whom I spoke, some of jWhose voices I easily recoguized, Fwere . sitting in offices .or ill thuir living rooms at home and told us {how comfortable they were and how pleasing the weather was. | At sea it was terribly cold and {the ship was making only light {hcadway because the sea was‘ | heavy. Conversations were conduct- {«-4 from the radio room of the j America into ordinary telephe:es ‘und W transmitted by air to Dcal N. J., where there was a ceiving station. The voice wos carried by land wire to the nom2 of the feceiver. This scheme proved practical but I have since been informed that he- |cause of the heavy expense involvel it could not be further developed so as to reduce the cost of conver- sations. However, this will come |after a while as a matter of cou: < so that it will be possible for you to sit in the stateroom of your, lghip. pick up the receiver and call' \ |your home or friends in almost any men would cangregnte to get these reports..” part of the world.
