fully prngre,siag at thole work/. The Amethyst left

arrived safely at Sheerness on the next morning, and on the
19th the wiling of this cable into the tank in the fore hold
of the Greet Eastern commenced. The Iris is now taking
L cable, and will leave for Sheeniest ins few days. The
directors are assured by the contractors that there is
nothing to p the entire cable being completed and
shipped on board the Great Eastern be the end of May.
