That is not a turkey baster, but rather a standard Starfleet issue ground-to-orbit laser beacon, used to signal the ship if standard subspace communications are blocked. You basically wave it around at the ship, which will see the beam and recognize that something is wrong, but even that was being blocked by Trelane.

Also, this episode has one of the best understated threats from Spock uttered in Star Trek: TRELANE: Don't fret, Captain. I'm only a bit upset with you, but this Mister Spock you mentioned, the one responsible for that unseemly, impudent act of taking you from me, which is he? SPOCK: I am Spock. TRELANE: Surely not an officer. He isn't quite human, is he? SPOCK: My father is from the planet Vulcan. TRELANE: And are its natives predatory? SPOCK: Not generally. But there have been exceptions.
