FRISCO WAS
WAITING
How the Honolulu
News Was Re-
CeiVed There.
Operators We're Eager
For the First
Flash.
This City Was Not Alone in Its
Anxiety to Get Into
Communication.

San Francisco kept busy specializing
over the delay in landing the cable
here, several days having elapsed be-
tween the message sent when the
cable was buoyed and the announce
ment that connection had been made.
In its issue of Jan. 2, the chronicle
said:
San Francisco and Honolulu are con-
nected by cable. The first words
passed under the ocean through 261O
miles of insulated rope a few moments
after IL o'clock last night. The wire
worked perfectly.
The Silvertown just before splicing
the ends, some thirty miles off shore
from Honolulu, telegraphed both ways
for the land stations to wait till IL: 10
o'clock, San Francisco time, before try
ing the cable. That time was desired
to insure the perfect hardening of the
gutta percha in the splice after the
joint should be lowered overheard from
the ship in about $500 feet of water.
Operators sat anxiously and eagerly
about the instruments in King street
at Honolulu and in the cable Office on
Market street in San Francisco wait
ing for the time limit to expire. San
Francisco was watching for Honolulu
to signal first.
A few moments after II o'clock, be-
fore the time limit was up, the signal
went from this end to Honolulu. 1t
read:
IS N (the regular cable call to at
tract attention) n. o. K. HUI" This
practically meant: Hello! All right,
Honolulu"
Instantly the little needle began zig
tagging with it's reply from Honolulu,
making queer little sawtooth lines
along the receding narrow ribbon of
white paper The operators eyed it
keenly. All it spelled out was: Min u
are reversed" But they instantly in
terpreted that as wait a minute, you
are reversed"
Now repeat" cabled Honolulu.
How are you?" asked San Francis
co, meaning the condition of the cable
instruments.
Rather wandering" replied Homo
lulu.
I'VE are nicely" assured San Fran
ciso, meaning this end of the cable was
all right.
That first little response from Homo
lulu came into the San Francisco Office
at exactly 11:03 o'clock. 1t was then
exactly SOB o'clock. 1t was Honolulu,
the time difference being two hours and
