make observations. and, after half an hours cruise,
returned. The sky was clear and the wind

increased the difficulties of landing. A large num-
ber of spectators gathered along the shore EXPECT
ing that landing would be made. but they were
disappointed. and after waiting few hours many Of
them went away.
The site that has been selected for landing the
cable is excellent. It is close by Nauset Light in
