The Story of the Atlantic Telegraph
·
Henry M. Field
180
On
his
part,
Mr.
Field
was
equally
anxious
to
acknowledge
the
invaluable
aid
given
by
others--aid,
without
which
the
efforts
of
no
single
individual
could
command
success.
On
his
arrival
at
St.
John's,
he
was
welcomed
with
enthusiasm
by
the
whole
population.
An
address
was
presented
to
him
by
the
Executive
Council
of
Newfoundland,
in
which
they
offered
their
hearty
congratulations
on
the
success
of
the
undertaking,
which
they
recognized
as
chiefly
due
to
him.
"Intimately
acquainted
as
we
have
been"--these
are
their
words--"with
the
energy
and
enterprise
which
have
distinguished
you
from
the
commencement
of
the
great
work
of
telegraph
connection
between
the
Old
and
the
New
Worlds;
and
feeling
that
under
Providence
this
triumph
of
science
is
mainly
due
to
your
well-directed
and
indomitable
exertions,
we
desire
to
express
to
you
our
high
appreciation
of
your
success
in
the
cause
of
the
world's
progress,"
etc.;
to
which
Mr.
Field
replied,
recognizing
in
turn
the
cordial
support
which
he
had
always
received
from
the
Government
of
Newfoundland.
The
Chamber
of
Commerce
of
St.
John's
also
presented
an
address
in
similar
terms,
to
which
he
replied--after
acknowledging
their
kind
mention
of
his
own
labors
and
sacrifices:
