The Story of the Atlantic Telegraph
·
Henry M. Field
110
As
the
Agamemnon
came
up
the
river
in
grand
style,
she
recognized
the
Niagara
lying
off
Gravesend,
and
manning
her
yards,
gave
her
a
succession
of
those
English
hurras
so
stirring
to
the
blood,
when
heard
on
land
or
sea,
to
which
our
tars
replied
with
lusty
American
cheers.
It
was
pleasant
to
observe,
from
this
time,
the
hearty
good-will
that
existed
between
the
officers
and
crews
of
the
two
ships,
who
in
their
exertions
for
the
common
object,
were
animated
only
by
a
generous
rivalry.
A
few
days
after,
the
Niagara
was
joined
by
the
Susquehanna,
Captain
Sands,
which
had
been
ordered
from
the
Mediterranean
to
take
part
also
in
the
expedition.
She
was
a
fit
companion
ship,
being
the
largest
side-wheel
steamer
in
our
navy,
as
the
other
was
the
largest
propeller.
Both
together,
they
were
worthy
representatives
of
the
American
navy.
