Note 13 — Chapter XVII · TWENTY-FOUR HOURS IN TRALEE BAY
Reading edition
A message of Count Bernstorff's, quoted in the Times of 25th May, 1918, mentions that there were numerous private wireless receiving stations in Ireland. The German news reports, sent out to all the world by the great Nauen station, would be easy to pick up, and amid a long succession of news items a cleverly chosen code word—meaning by pre-arrangement, 'Expedition started,' or the like—would easily escape notice, except from those who were on the look-out for it.
