He was on his yacht, and it was cruising off b he Isle of Wight. By means of the „.larconi apparatus he was able to send bulletins regarding his» condition to the queen, who was at Osborne house. Other members of the royal family, '! also, made use of the installation, among them the duke of York and the duke and duchess of Connaught. 1 Two interesting discoveries were ' made at this time. The system appeared to work better in heavy weather than when the air was clear. And , on one occasion a straight line between I the sending and receiving instruments passed through a hill, and yet no interference was experienced. At present it is not known whether the elec- ! tro-ffnagnetic waves went through the ! earth at this point or curved up over i the hill and then came down again.
