Eight minutes later, the Depart- ment rescived the message and two minutes after that Fougei-e was off the alr- because his power was disrupted.

The message went first to Flor- ida where a second ham operator picked it up and relayed it; from ihcre the words "Shedinc. New Brunswick is on fire. need help from Moncton" flushed to Alaska into the receiving set of yet aii- other ham. He relayed it and it was heard by station WINX in Boston.

One effect of the pensions in- creases is to put all ranks up to and including captains on the sime level. The previous basic pen- sions went to lieutenants and un- der. A captain's pension will be raised from $83-80 to $81 io con- form with the change but there will be no increases for men of higher rank. Pension of a widow of a captain goes up from $66.07 ~to $10.
