had been scofied at, rIdlcuied, dub

For Mr.. Field this meant doing

were gone for all time; a new one
had TO be formed and fresh capital
raised There were endless trips TO
be made to the other side, his busi-

months, without the consequent ILL
feeling and heavy expenditure on the
British side for war preparations,

in unfolding the cause Of the North
In England when 1t was highly I'M.
popular, and began a friendship with
Gladstone to put the case OF the
North before him as strongly as pos

complished, by the aid of the Great
Eastern, on September s, 1866, aft
