STORY OF THE UA1ILG. Sllvcrtonn Reports Rough bnt Sue ccssfnl Trip. The Sllvertown made her first start from San Francisco for the purpose of laying the shore cable on Friday, December 12. When she came outside, however, this was found to be an impossible undertaking. A heavy gale was raging outside and, still worse, a current was running like a mill race, so that no line could be successfully spanned out between the shore and the vessel. The Silvertown consequently put back J to San Franciscn. On Sunday, I December 14, the shore cable was I successfully laid. One hundred I tons of cable was put on board a barge and laid from the shore out to the Silvertown. .Sunday night .. . , , . . .. . . . . at midnight this shore cable was spliced on to the deep-sea cable and J - t;fi r,nr mi,i:i,f r,i morning the Silvertown started on her trip paying out the cable which will now connect these Islands with ! the Mai,ad- .... .

While the sea was not so rough that it would materially in - terfere with the prpgress of an Iiuer U was exceptionally 'bad to lay a cable in The whole length was, however, laid without a break. Two splices were made as the supply of cabls in one tank was finished and a new tank had to be started. One of these splices was I made December .19th aud the other December 25th, at 1 1 a. m. , The cable was laid day by day as follows: On Sunday at midnight the six ! miles of shore cable from San Fran cisco were connected with the deep-sea cable and the actual lay- ing of the deep-sea line begun. The" following table gives the total amount of cable laid at noon each 1 day of the voyage Total Miles.' uec. 15 77 Dec. 16 259 Dec. 17 '. 455 Dec. 18 662 Dec. 19 865 Dec. 20 1054 Dec. 21 1269 ,Dec. 22 1480 Dec. 23 1677 Dec. 24 1894 Dec. 25 2109 The end of the cable was buoyed about thirty-five miles from Hono lulu at 5:15 this morning, when 2238 miles of cable had been layed. When the end was slipped into the ocean, a terrific gale prevailed with heavy rain squalls". The task was consequently a very hard one, but it was successfully performed. To the end of the cable was fastened a chain aud to this a 6-inch manila hawser. When the end was slipped this hawser ran overboard with such terrific speed that the friction caused sparks to fly from it. The cable end was marked with two buoys. The Silvertown left the cable end at that distance from shore on account of the fact that there the deep-sea quality of cable will end. .The thirty-five miles which inter vene between that spot and the cable landing will be spanned by thirty-three miles of intermediate cable, which is of a heavier quality I than the deep-sea kind, and by about two miles of rock cable, whjch is stui stronger and whicli I will run out from the shore, where, the wear and tear on the cable Js the greatest. Further, the Silvertown, after having unshipped all the cable end, having burned most of her coal, is very light. As a consequence she will takVin coal and ballast here to make her more stable before she goiJ.l out to pick up the cable end to: connect it with the shore. She will also wait for the weather to improve. Should th's happen she will in all probability do this work on Monday. The cable laying was eminently successful, despite the bad weather. The cable was sunk to some enor mous depths, 3000 fathoms, or about four miles having been reach ed while on most places the cable now lies about three miles below the surface of the Pacific. An illustration of how very deep the cable goes can be had when it is known that when the vessel was paying out the cable the strand reached the bottom between twenty two nnd twenty-seven miles astern of the vessel. The Silvertown besides her crew carr U several different staffs of cable workers, whose business it was. lay and test the cable. A contiguous test was kept between the essel aud the San Francisco j shores end by the aid of delicate j instruments by which the slightest ! misW to the cablc Paid om would 1- be rnticed immediately. This test was 'only interrupted once a day when Mr. E. D. Moore, the Asso- , ciatecj" Press representative who , accoi'N.-anied the expedition, sent a jrepo&Vif the trip to San Francisco, -Honolulu Bulletin. -Honolulu Bulletin. Pf ILNC1.E.
