The Story of the Atlantic Telegraph
·
Henry M. Field
181
"But
it
would
not
only
be
ungenerous,
but
unjust,
that
I
should
for
a
moment
forget
the
services
of
those
who
were
my
co-workers
in
this
enterprise,
and
without
whom
any
labors
of
mine
would
have
been
unavailing.
It
would
be
difficult
to
enumerate
the
many
gentlemen
whose
scientific
acquirements
and
skill
and
energy
have
been
devoted
to
the
advancement
of
this
work,
and
who
have
so
mainly
produced
the
issue
which
has
called
forth
this
expression
of
your
good
wishes
on
my
behalf.
But
I
could
not
do
justice
to
my
own
feelings
did
I
fail
to
acknowledge
how
much
is
owing
to
Captain
Hudson
and
the
officers
of
the
Niagara,
whose
hearts
were
in
the
work,
and
whose
toil
was
unceasing;
to
Captain
Dayman
of
her
Majesty's
ship
Gorgon,
for
the
soundings
so
accurately
made
by
him
last
year,
and
for
the
perfect
manner
in
which
he
led
the
Niagara
over
the
great-circle
arc
while
laying
the
cable;
to
Captain
Otter,
of
the
Porcupine,
for
the
careful
survey
made
by
him
in
Trinity
Bay,
and
for
the
admirable
manner
in
which
he
piloted
the
Niagara
at
night
to
her
anchorage;
to
Mr.
Everett,
who
has
for
months
devoted
his
whole
time
to
designing
and
perfecting
the
beautiful
machinery
that
has
so
successfully
paid
out
the
cable
from
the
ships--machinery
so
perfect
in
every
respect,
that
it
was
not
for
one
moment
stopped
on
board
the
Niagara
until
she
reached
her
destination
in
Trinity
Bay;
