To the main source of revenue from -telecrrams must be
adde i profits from salvage, the sale of store ~ towage, and the
embarking, and disembarking of mails, parcels, and passen-

would be ;n great demand. There is a large shipping trade
at Scilly. ant the Company's line will connect t'nose islands
with the European telegraphic system.
The practicability of the enterprise is established by the
opinions of eminent seamen, engineers, and electricians,
while the advantages to the commercial marine are equally
attested by the principal mercantile and shipping firms in
the country.
