WASHINGTON, N* C", tHURSDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 30, 11U3. NUMBER 151. WIRELESS USED FHSMKTi LIFE OF INFANT CNC8CAL INCIDENT OOCVRRED AT H ATTERA8. FIRST OP ITS KIND ON RECORD. CHILD WAS ILL Chip's Doctor Unable to Prescribe Far It. Dr. Sutton of Hatteras Received Hc?fi am] 8?t Kr> lief to the Infant. Bjr J. N. Bell HLalf Correspondent Ocracoke, Doc. SO. ? A wlreleat message. from * ahlp several hua. dred miles away, was picked up by the Cape Hatteraa station recently, and was of such an unusual nature that It is believed to be the first of its kind ever flashed through the air with successful results. The message was an appeal for help, not because of fire on the ves sel or danger of sinking, but due to the fact that a baby was critically ill and the ship's physician baffled by the malady of the child. The wireless stated that the doctor had exhausted his medical skill without avail and made a pitiful appral on the part of the broken-hearted moth er of the child to any physician who might get the radio and be able to prescribe for the infant. With the symptoms given, the op erator at Hatteras sent the message to Dr. Sutton, two miles away from the station, then resident physician, but now of Manteo. The doctor %ave the operator a prescription and the latter at once flashed it through the air. A few hours later the op erator received another wireless, saying that the prescription had been (tiled from the ship's pharmacy. and . that the child had shown immediate improvement. It was then consid ered out of danger. Dr. Sutton and the operator con- ' hidered the Incident closed, but a few days ago the doctor recrlved a check for three figure* and the wire less operator also received a token of cratitude such as only an appre ciative moth r could heetow upon | those who had saved the life of her ? liiJd. , FORD HI 1.1.
