LANDING PLACES AND LENGTHS QE CIRCUITS. 57 otter end of the sound, or to connect this section with the next by a cable around Cape Farewell ; or, by a line across the land, avoiding the inland ice. It is now proposed to carry the cable from Iceland, around Cape Farewell, to one of the fiords on the west side, and from the same fiord run the cable to Labrador. Greenland to Labrador.—The cable will start from Greenland, and land at or near Hamilton Inlet. The soundings taken by Sir Leopold M'Clintock show 180 fathoms interior from the outer rocks on the coast, so that the cable can be laid into the inlet from the sea in water sufficiently de$p to place the cable beyond the reach of icebergs. If, however, the depths be found more favourable from the sea into Byron’s Bay, near and north of Hamilton Inlet, that place will be equally satisfactory, all questions being considered. Length of section, about 510 miles. Before the respective cables are laid, each of the places will be care- fully sounded, and buoys will be placed, indicating the deep trenches ; and, besides, steam tenders will be in readiness to serve as pilots.
