About This Item
The narrative of the mission is conveyed in a charming fashion by the 20-year-old wireless operator "Sparks". Other than radio malfunction, the major burden of the trip is grounding on a reef in San Marcos Bay, Brazil. We are familiar with the tradition of the epistolary novel. This may be the first and last of the wireless narrative tradition. "QRD?" That's radio-shorthand for "Where are you bound? Where are you from?" The dust jacket is now preserved in a removable, archival sleeve.
