( 20 ) This needs no comment. And so the cable flickered on; now working, now stopped, until, on the morning of the 1st of September, it seemed resuscitated for a few hours, and the last message sent through the cable was to Mr. Cyrus Field. “ The Directors on their way to Yalentia to open cable to the public.” And so the cable became dead. It need not be added that the cable was not opened to the public, nor ever will be. But now other statements are put forth in various quarters that a number of experiments recently made will prove indisputably that a cable 2000 miles long can be worked at a good speed without any hindrance, and that experiments have been made showing that there will be no difficulty in the construction of a deep-sea cable, and that the submersion of it is a matter of the greatest feasibility; in fact, that all the preventive causes in the way of working or submerging a two-thousand mile cable have been over- come. Will it be believed that the whole of the Government expe- riments, which are to solve the problem of working a two-thousand mile cable, have been made on no greater than a mile-length of insulated wire ? Will it be believed that the whole of the Govern- ment experiments, which are to determine the most suitable cable for deep seas, and more especially for the Atlantic, consist in suspending to three shear legs, about twenty yards of different descriptions of cable, and attaching weights to them until they break ? It may seem incredible, but it is nevertheless true ; and because some six months have been consumed carrying out experiments on single miles of insulated wire, and a number of specimens of cable broken, we are asked to believe that the immense obstacles of working long cables have been overcome, and cables themselves arrived at per- fection ; and the public are to be asked to subscribe further money for a second cable on the old .route on the faith of these experi- ments.
