74 THE NORTH ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. if the surveys come out satisfactorily, if the bright anticipations entertained now before the expedition sails, are realised, when the results are known of the voyages of the Bulldog and the Fox, if the resolution is made to carry on the enterprise, let me press upon the promoters then to adopt in their subsequent proceedings the motto “festina lente,”—hasten slowly; let an excess of time be allowed for the manufacture of the cable, let there be time to spare during the shipment, let nothing be driven to the last minute,—so that if any hitch occurs, if anything goes wrong, there may be ample time to set all right without driving off the expedi- tion to the late part of the season (applause). Captain Ommanney, R.N., proposed the health of “ Captain McClintock, and success to him.” That gallant officer served under his command when he (Captain Ommanney) went to the Arctic regions, and he had experience of his valuable services.— Drank with great applause. Mr. T. Falvey :—If time permitted, Mr. Mayor, I might well dilate for a few minutes, in proposing the toast which you have placed in my hands, on the progress and prosperity of the town of Southampton. But at this late hour I should be forgetful of the comfort of this company, and unmindful of my own sense of duty, if I said one word more. We have all experience of the value and importance of those great companies which rendezvous at this port, and. which are represented here to-night by two honourable and high-minded men — Captain Engledue and Captain Mangles (cheers). My toast is, “ The Public Companies connected with Southampton.”—The toast was drank with loud cheering. Captain Engledue, J.P., responded to this toast, and expressed great gratification in partaking of doing honour to an expedition, which, in his opinion, would be productive of great results. Mr. D. G. Douglas proposed the toast of “The Press,” which received a cordial welcome, and was acknowledged by Mr. H. Pond. Dr. Palk proposed “The Ladies,” a toast to which full justice was done, and the proceedings of this gratifying assembly were brought to a close.
