They obtained acnommodation at the Cochrane .Ho'us'e, where I was staying, add, within a very short time, Mlareond and I were otr ,friendly terms. 0n the following -day the 'members of the party betook themselves to Sig- nal ,Hill, which, lies on, the right band of a alhlip entering the Narrows, then gateway to the h'aenbour.' The visible eq'ui'pment caniseis'ted of a portable balloon or kite, which floated 200 feet above the Eft], ;and which ,was hied as nearly as passible m'obio,nlless 'by a series ,cif stays. The 'balllolon' held up a ,vertical .steel wl!re, 'such as was -used in communication with distant ships. ,Marooni's expectations 'weals' :now seem to he 'modest, although far be- yond anything that !had been achieved tip to that time.

B'u't he cher- ished a cher-isheda ,secret hand o'f 'tdlain'g ,much better, B:,fore leaving 'England, he had arranged with the officer in .charge df the powerful translmitting staltlion at Fulda, Cornfwall, to send et specified intervals, the MoIns'e letter "S" (...) between the hou!tis df 3 plan, and 6 p,tn.;'wh!iclh would correspond with noon ,and 3.,p.sn. !in Ne'witaund@and.

'But he was fully satislfiead with what he had attained, and ,on S'atur'day ;the p0611itc !were i:nfo'rned of his success. There 'was valet excitement tis St. Johut''ls o'ai S1unday and ,M'onday.
