Previous Injuries 60 tho Atlantic Cables.
Ia worthy Of note that since the successful lay
ing OF the Atlantic cables that laid In 1865 has been
almost the only one which has been damaged OK
broken. After the failure in 1895 this cable was con-
structed with great rapidity and in the summer Of
1866 was LAID. few weeks later the broken cablc
OF 1866 picked up and laid In September Of 1859.
In May, 1867 ihe cable Of 1865 was damaged ~ an
iceberg and communication ceased BY It, bus
it was repaired In June OF the same year
aud continued working without interruption
until August, 1S6s when 1t ceased 10
work, and lt was not repaired until
October following. The French cable was
successfully laid In July 1862 and the same month
afaut was discovered In the English cable OF 1885,
which was removed. Three months later (Octoberl
1t was again damaged aud repaired, and In August
Of the present year met with another mishap, which
was also remcdied. II viii thus be seen that the
present is the seventh time this cable has required
repairs, while the cable OF 1865, which has peen
submerged one year longer, has worked well ct oil
times In september Of the present year the French
cable was damaged and repaired. Whether it Is
that the haste in which the cable OF 1865 was
sfuced Is the cause OF Its frequent misrortunes we
cannot tell but the fact that 1t has often needed
repairs while the others have remained perfect Ia
worthy Of consideration.
