Sullivan Immediately secured a Warconic wireless hart and after a few minutes of careful study, called for Thompson. Hurried arrangements were made for him to board the liner Kranconla, Sullivan ha :ng figured that she would rross the path of th--Carpathla at a certain point In the quickest possible time and relay the Carpathla s mexas'j.
