About This Book

A group of young friends train at a coastal wireless sending station, learning to build and operate radio apparatus while confronting accidents, sea rescues, and attempts to sabotage their work. The narrative alternates hands-on technical explanations and demonstrations of early wireless practice with adventurous set pieces—a collision at sea, daring rescues, confrontations with crooks, and a mystery that hinges on radio skill. Through experiments, teamwork, and persistence they improve their craft, expose a criminal scheme, and demonstrate their competence in running the wireless room.
