AS he now knows in which direction
from the vessel the break must be, he
proceeds to measure the resistance Of
the broken" end in order to see ex-

vessel.
If ii is not far, say four or five miles.
the captain of the vessel proceeds to
under-run the cable until the delin-
quent spot is reached when it is am
easy matter to repair the break or to
put in new section of cable If the
break is found to be a number of miles
away, the part which has been picked
up is attached to a buoy and the yes
sci steams away to what further OBJ
servation has determined to be the re-

again and a signal is sent through. IF
the answer is from Europe instead of
from this end of the line, it follows that
the break must be somewhere between
the two parts of the cable which have
been pickd UP. The precise spot can
then be easily determined and repairs
can be made. Sometimes the work is
very expeditions, but in storm seasons
of the year it has often been a month
before the break has been found II
has also happened that in graphing

This is the line which Edison cannot

the ordinary cable operators. The lat
