The Last of tn. Atlantic Gable.

Capt. Kell and Mr.. Varley, who went
out for the purpose of endeavoring to
raise the American end ofthe Atlantic cable,
rsays the London FINES, report that "al-
though they have on many occasions been
able to raise the blight, and so get on board
at different times pieces OF cable, in all
amounting to about miles, they have in
variably found it broken again a few miles
off" lAttempts we're made at various points,
but all were unsuccessful, the rope in almost
every instance giving way. 1t was, there
fore, found necessary to abandon it."
Speaking of the state of the rope, between
Tickle Point and Cooper Island, Capt. Kell
and Mr.. Varley say-"Al hough mud is
shown on the charts, there are uuquestion-
ably rocks also, as was too plainly indicated
by the state of the cable rock weed and sea
anmalculi adhering to and surrounding it
many places, showing that it had been sus
pended clear of the bottom. The cable was
invariably hauled in by hand to avoid unnec-
essary strain.
The recovered cable varied in condition
very much, and what is most important is,
that even those portions which came out of
the black mud we're so perishcd in numerous
patches that the outer covering parted on
board during the process of hauling in, and
but for the dexterity and courage Of the men
in seizing hold oft beyound the break, where

it was evidently sometime embedded in mud
sometimes on small stones, sometimes wholly
exposed over rocks, as was apparent from
the outer covering, and sometimes half EN-
bedded. The iron wire in many places OTTER
appeared sound but, on minute inspection
was found eaten away-and rotted the sew

iron wires were coated with metallic wires
and much eaten, they having most probabl,
rested upon copper ore, for there are vein
of it in Trinity Bay. The gutta percha ant

diton as when laid down. Those portion
