The mysterious "All Clear" signal which seemed to cancel the first 8.0.8. in connection with the sinking of the Italian ship Alcantara is explained by Captain Friedman of the Russian cadet ship Tovarisch, with which the Alcantara collided.
Captain Friedman, in an interview at Southampton, declared that the str, Baron Douglas came along. side In response to the $.0.8. When, told that the Tovarisch was in no immediate danger but that perhaps some of the rev of the other vessel were in the water the Baron Douglas went off, presumably to render assistance. " Then more wirelesses were received, to which the Tovarisch replied" "AM Clear" referring to herself, but she broadcast all stations giving the place of the collision and stating that men might be in the water. The Tovarisch, being a sailing-ship, was unable to manquvre and stand by the other vessel, but lowered her boats mediately, though it took half an hour to slow up and launch them.
