THR CABLE.
NEW YORK, August 27.
Russelps diary, on board the Great
Eastern, contains the following secount of
the injury to she cable:
At three o',,loclK on the afternoon of the
3lst OF July, the screw engine was stopped,
and al half past three the ships time pad
dies were slo we'd, in order to allow the last
coil in the alter tank to run out and the
operation of paying out was transferred to
the tore tank. Nos the slightest difficulty
was exporiea.sed in the transfer, and little
before Ave O'Clock, Greenwich time, the
Great Easter n started ahead, lowering he
cable at q decreased rate of speed. At
noon the dist Rncs run was 753 miles. The
amount of cable paid out was 7O3 miles
The test showed so great an improvement
as to elevate the standard of the cable very
much above the quality specified in the
contract In lAtitute 81 deg. 9 min and
Longitude 81 deg. So min. an ex-
animation was made of that portion
of the cable in which dead earth
was know to exist. The defective portion
of the cable was reached and cut out The
very painful discovery was then made thst
Insulation was visible in one strand of
hemp covering the external wire. UnrsN-
cling the strand SO as to expose the insu-
lated wire, piece of the broken wire was
found driven through the gutts percha
covering SO as to project beyond it on each
side to the extent of the diameter of the
cable. One end was sharp, as if cut with
nippers. The other was broken off abrupt
ly, and the diameter, on the gusge being
applied, with that of the wire covering the
cable. 1t was impossible to resist the con-
clusion that such injury was the work of
some horrid cable assassin. Mr.. Canning
showed it stab to cable, and the cable
men admitted that the mischief could not
have occurred accidentally. Those who
were in the tank when the cable was in
juFed were the same gang which were on
duty when another piece was forced into
the cable.
The gentlemen on board ship formed a
corps of supervisors who undertook to
watch in the tank. Even the men gave
their aequiesence. A dead calm prevailed
the whole day, the water was not broken
even by ripple.
On Wednesday, August 2, at $40 A. NJ
the ship was stopped by an order from the
electricians room. While the electrician
were passing the first of hAlLhourly seriei
of currents to shore, the gAlVOmeter sud
denly detected q flow of electricity which
indicted a serious fault The tests gave nj
result as to the locality, for the fault wa
varying, but was generally believed to b.
not far from the stern of the ship.
1t appears, that while Mr.. Field was OIL
watch in the tank, little before the tim
of the accident, grating noise was aud
ibls as the cable few over the coil asterr
one of the experienced hands immediatel.
said there is piece of wire, and called on
to the last man above to pass in informa
ton but no notice appears to have bsel
taken of the circumstance. After the shi
had bad been stopped, q remainder fax
was psid out, and piece Of wire was see
projecting out of the cable, in the fax
under that in which the fault was reporte
suspected to exist, and one Of the men tai
ing it in his fingers, trying to bend it dow
