The Story of the Atlantic Telegraph
·
Henry M. Field
182
Woodhouse,
who
superintended
the
coiling
of
the
cable,
and
zealously
and
ably
cooperated
with
his
brother
engineer
during
the
progress
of
paying-out;
to
the
electricians
for
their
constant
watchfulness;
to
the
men
for
their
almost
ceaseless
labor
(and
I
feel
confident
that
you
will
have
a
good
report
from
the
commanders,
engineers,
electricians,
on
board
the
Agamemnon
and
Valorous,
the
Irish
portion
of
the
fleet);
to
the
Directors
of
the
Atlantic
Telegraph
Company
for
the
time
they
have
devoted
to
the
undertaking
without
receiving
any
compensation
for
their
services
(and
it
must
be
a
pleasure
to
many
of
you
to
know
that
the
director,
who
has
devoted
more
time
than
any
other,
was
for
many
years
a
resident
of
this
place,
and
well
known
to
all
of
you--I
allude
to
Mr.
Brooking,
of
London);
to
Mr.
C.
M.
Lampson,
a
native
of
New
England,
but
who
has
for
the
last
twenty-seven
years
resided
in
London,
who
appreciated
the
great
importance
of
this
enterprise
to
both
countries,
and
gave
it
most
valuable
aid,
bringing
his
sound
judgment
and
great
business
talent
to
the
service
of
the
Company;
to
that
distinguished
American,
Mr.
George
Peabody,
and
his
worthy
partner,
Mr.
Morgan,
who
not
only
assisted
it
most
liberally
with
their
means,
but
to
whom
I
could
always
go
with
confidence
for
advice."
Such
acknowledgments,
constantly
repeated,
showed
a
mind
incapable
of
envy
or
jealousy;
that
was
chiefly
anxious
to
recognize
the
services
of
others,
and
that
they
should
receive
from
the
public,
both
of
England
and
America,
the
honors
which
they
had
so
nobly
earned.
