Show CALL IS HEARD FROMTBE SEA May Be the Bremen Calling For Aid Off New York Harbor. New York, Aug. 11. Two strange tireless calls for "Telefunkon station, sta-tion, ' New York, heard . at Sandy wook this morning, and the refusal of the sender to disclose his identity although questioned by the shore stations, led to the belief that tho call might bo from the German submarine sub-marine Bremen. This could not be verified. Tho caller signed his message mes-sage with the signal "D. B. XL," which is the private signal of the iorth German Lloyd steamer Bres-lau, Bres-lau, believed to be tied up In the Port of New Orleans. Tho msyteri-ous msyteri-ous caller would only say that ho was on board a coal steamer. All mrnmn shIPs before the war used the Telefunken" call. The first of tho wireless flashes was received at 1:50 a. m and the sender was told by the shore stations that the "Telefunken" "Tele-funken" station was then closed. An nour later the sender asked the shore station at Seagate t0 ascertain when the "Telefunken" station would be opened." |
