Branch, and then Martins squad carried the wire
to a position in front OF the Grand View Hotel.
Here a pole was up and the wire made
fast. Then Martin and his men secured surf
boat and made for the st. Paul 80
AS the boat went seward the wire was played out
and when the steamship reached the wire was
made taut hanging directly from the pole on the
bluff to the steamship. A regulation instrument
was carried aboard the st. Paul and in less than
an hour after leaving shore. Martin and his men
hadsthe stranded ship connected with the civilized
