Wanted : Wireless War Tales 



Where is the wireless operator? What is he doing? 



The Popular Science Monthly wants topublish true stories 

 of his deeds. They gave Owen Chick a Silver Model 

 of a U-boat which bore the inscription "A memento 

 of the escape of the San Melito after being shelled for 

 forty minutes." A. S. Mackenzie proved himself a 

 wireless hero when a giant wave ripped off a hatch of 

 his ship and swept back the wireless cabin in a clutter 

 of deck wreckage. There wasn't anything left of his 

 wireless apparatus but a mass of junk. But he got his 

 set going and saved the ship in a crisis. 



We w^ant to tell the stories of wireless heroes, to 

 show how brave radio operators did their bit in an hour 

 of peril — either sending out messages under a storm of 

 shot and shell or making ingenious repairs, as brave 

 Mackenzie did, when human life Itself depended on a 

 radio call pulsating through the ether. 



We will pay for these true stories. 



Send them in as quickly as you can. If you are a wire- 

 less operator yourself and It is your own account of 

 what happened to you, so much the better. Don't be 

 afraid to write. We want the facts. If a diagram is 

 necessary, send It with your story. It will be welcome.
