' ' By FLOYD GIBBONS In this case, thanks to Ray Hutchens of Long Island City, N. Y it meant life to the victims of a hurricane which had just swept a path of death and destruction over Florida! Ray tells me the Ward Line passenger ship Siboney, with him on board as chief wireless operator, and a chap named Milton Kitchen as junior, pulled out of Havana, bound for New York, on September 18, 1926. Just before they left the dock at noon, they received a hurricane warning from a station in New Orleans whose call letters were WNU. Now Bay says such warnings were a dime a dozen, and most of them came to exactly nothing.- So when they ran into a gale with moderate sea on passing Morro Castle, they thought little of it. All unsuspecting they turned toward Key West. - And ' come I fet to , tunity to knock.' After all, one may be able to shape his own course, without outside aid.

At against a rasping background of static, some fellow called WRN (the Siboney, Rays vessel) slowly and repeatedly. Shucks," Bay thought to himself. Thisll be some tanker about to ask for a relay." Unable to send their messages the full distance because of lack of power, the smaller ships occasionally asked help from a ship with better equipment. Ray was certainly justified in jumping to this conclusion, for what else would be sending a signal that was not the clear, musical note of the shore stations, but a weak, straggling sputter, like someone shaking a bucket of pebbles, as Ray puts it. But when this puny station signed WAX, which was the shore station at Miami, Florida, Ray was shocked into action! Miami, whose high, clear note always rang with ample volume through the thirty miles of static that separated them.

A pitiful appeal for food, clothing and medical supplies for the victims , ' of the Miami hurricane, which had just swept a path of death and ; destruction across Florida! There was not a second to be lost! Out there in those waste stretches, battered and swept clean by the fury of a Nature gone mad, were helpless men, women, yes and little children, their homes destroyed, their last link with the world this little ships radio room, where a horrified man sat over a delicate instrument and relayed the tale of their disaster to the world. Ray jumped to his feet, ran into their quarters, slapped his junior, Kitchen, on the stomach. For the next twelve hours, while Kitchen stood by and tended the arc and spark transmitters, Ray alternately received from Miami and sent to WSA, in East Moriches, Long Island. A pal of Rays, A1 Kahn, who was on the Orizaba, near Hatteras, helped to keep other ships signals off the air while Ray was slowly trying to pound through the thousand miles between the Siboney and WSA.
