The Telegraph Expedition.
QUEENSTOWN, IRELAND, July 5.-The Mia
CARA and Gorgon arrived this morning.
Three attempts have been made to lay down
the cable. The Agamemnon and Valorous
are expected here hourly. The squadron ex.
| perienced very bad weather during their
cruise. On the 18th Of June a heavy gale
sprang up. during which they were separ
ated, but all met again at the rendezvous, lat
itude 52,2, longitude 1918.
On the first attempt about ten miles OF the
cable was lost; on the second attempt about
one hundred and twenty miles. On the 18th
the Niagara and Agamemnon met a third
time, and third time connected the cable.
They then started afresh, and the Niagara,
having pried out over one hundred and fifty
miles of cable, all on board entertained the
most sanguine anticipations of success, when
the fatal announcement was made on the
18th, at P. M, that the current had ceased
to flow. AS the necessity of abandoning the
project for the present was now only too man
ifest, it was considered that the opportunity
might as well be availed of to test the strength
of the cable.
Accordingly this immense vessel with all
her stores, &C., was allowed to swing to the
cable, and in addition a strain of four tons
was placed upon the brakes; yet, although it
was blowing fresh at the time, the cable held
her as if she had been at anchor, for over an
hour, when heavy pitch of the sea snapped
the rope, and the Niagara bore. away for
| Queenstown. 8C
She must have passed the Agamemnon, but
owing to the heavy fogs missed seeing or gain
ing sny tidings of her. 1t was coniectured
that the latter had not delivered her specified
| quantity of cable at the time of the failure.
and may have consequently returned to the
| place of meeting Should nothing be heard
of her, the Niagara would, alter .coaling, pro
coed to the Ocean Station, having still OH
board thirteen hundred miles OF her cable.
which, surprising the other vessel has retained
similar amount, would still permit the june
ton being completed, and allow thirty per ct.
