side, and in a recent interview he
said
Gable laying is one of the most
difficult of mecha anical tasks. Many
accidents are encountered and when
a break occurs much time is often
lost. A cable ship has been known
to go out from Nova Scotia on the
Atlantic lines and return in 80 days
without picking up the break. The
Burnside has had unusually good
luck, although it undoubtedly seems
to be the public that she has suffered
remarkable delays. She has, in fact,
met with fewer accidents than are
usual in cable laying.
eff the Burnside meets with no
accidents the Sitka cable should be
completed by August 20. In that
case | hope to have her soon at work
on the Sitka-Valdez cable, and if
that should be laid without serious
interference it should be finished be-
fore the end of 1904"
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-08-09

A message was received from the
cableship Burnside yesterday stating
that the vessel had laid 12S miles
of cable between Sunday noon and
6 o'clock Monday morning, an eX-
traordfnary feat. In the absence of
accidents or storms the Burnside
should be in Tacoma by Friday to
take the last installment of the Sitka
cable, and the line should be COM
pleted by August 20 to Seattle. Only
one more link will then be required
to place Tacoma in telegraphic COM
munication by an all-American route
with every important settlement in
Alaska. That is the Sitka-Valdez
cable, which may be laid this fall.
The work performed by the Burn
side is considered by cable laying
experts to be little short of wonder
full. General Greeley, chief of the

siastic over the work of the Burn
