THE GREAT EASTERN.
| correspondent Of the London Daily News.
writing from the Great Eastern, says: The rope
which broke the third time. and so sent the
| petition home, was an ordinary five and a half
inch rope. only used because the stock of wire
and hemp buoy rope was exhausted. The latter
1
! miles had been wasted through failure of senti-
nsls stationed after every ten fathoms to prevent
its twisting. The other rope was used for test
ing the breaking strain of the first rope, which
was Ii tons, yet il broke the first time at strain
of 500 cwt Hemp rope was the last resource
of the baffied engineers, who rather than come
back without making effort, would have prob
bly, been inclined to cut off and send down the
rigging OF the Great Eastern herself.
L.. r. H.
never gave way; the grapnels and hemp rope
were only meant for 500 or 600 fathons of water
No portion of the machinery appliances
| failed when called upon to perform work for
| which they we're not meant. The possibility oil
| picking up the cable at the depth of two miles
had it appears. never occurred to the cable layers
and the satisfaction felt at proving its complete
feasibility seems to outweigh the temporary
misfortune of the ropes at hand not being equal
TO the emergency.
The business like system observed in record
ing the events of each day is worthy Of note. A
lithogrsphic work man, with stone and press, had
one of the ordinary ships cabins given up to
him. Every morning the diary Of the preceding
day was written by Or. Russell and copied by
Mr.. Jno. AcDeane. The ship was then litbo
graphed and 600 copies struck off,
| Meanwhile envelopes, addressed to the editors
of twenty five American journals, and to Scot
lsnd and Ireland, were kept in readiness.
As each days news was told it added to the
stock already folded for posting By this means
letters were sent Cd simultaneously and without a
moments unnecessary delay.
