of the collision between the a battle with the elements which well
White Star liner Republic and the nigh exhausted him
Florida of the Lloyd Itallano line and Captain Sealby was born in Vine
the rescue of the passengers and crew land N 7 forty six years ago and has
or the former vessel Though six lives been with the White Star line since he
jwere lost in consequence of one ship j first went to sea In 1879 His first
crasnmg into ine otner in tne log on age was as an apprentice In the iron
the Nantucket shoals no one was
drowncd despite the hundreds of hu
man beings In peril of such fate and
this outcome was gratifying proof that
bark Esmeralda under Captain Jona
than L Park and in the fifteen
mouths he was on this vessel she was
engaged in trade on the Pacific coast
and young Sealby saw some stirring
scenes in Chile and rem during the
war between those countries Upon
completing his apprenticeship he serv
ed as second and first mate in sailing
ships and at an early age took com
mand of the first Oceanic running be
l twceii San Francisco Honolulu and
Yokohama While in command of the
Coptic he was the first to take the
news to Honolulu that the Hawaiian
Islands had been annexed to the Unit
ed States He was honored by a ban
quet and presented witli a loving cup
by the citizens of Honolulu
Next to Captain Sealby perhaps the
greatest hero of the Republic disastei
was the wireless operator of the
ship Jack Rinns who was able to
keep on sending signals and bringing
other ships to the rescue without re
gard to his own peril Binns is a native

the dynamo winch supplied the power
Binns had used for the wireless The
lights in his station also went out at
once Binns sat in the darkness with
the roof and one wall of the station
gone waiting for orders
After a few minutes had passed and
Captain Sealby had realized the ex
tremity of his peril he told Binns to
send out his widespread call for help
the now famous signal C Q D To
operate the wireless at all Binns had
to rig up cumulators and these stor
age battery substitutes for the djT
namic power furnished by the ship
had only a short life
In sending out his call he notified all
those that received it that while he
would listen in on all wireless mes
sages lie could not attempt to send
more than were absolutely necessary
For more than ten hours Binns sat
in the wrecked wireless station with a
blanket tied over him as a roof and
with the fog banked all about him be

After getting some refreshment he
resumed his vigil with the receivers

sound as to be heard at a discance of
Xourteen miles Subsequent improve
ments made it possible to send the
ound a much greater distance
The system proved such a success
that tiie leading ocean steamship lines
placed the apparatus on their vessels
several years ago It has been applied
ulso in connection with naval vessels
especially for the purpose of detecting
the approach of torpedo boats On
merchant vessels by placing transmit
ters on both sides of the ship it has
lieen possible to detect not only the
direction but the approximate distance
and character of the sounds Receiv
ers are now located in the pilothouse
of a ship and in the hold is placed
the transmitter case where it Is pro
tected from the water and the possi
bility of accident The signal bell is
usually located on the side of the ship
