The Story of the Atlantic Telegraph
·
Henry M. Field
211
This
array
of
proofs
of
what
took
place
a
quarter
of
a
century
ago,
may
seem
superfluous
now
that
experience
has
made
despatches
from
the
other
side
of
the
ocean
one
of
the
familiar
things
of
our
daily
life.
And
yet
at
that
date
the
achievement
was
so
stupendous,
and,
as
some
thought,
in
its
very
nature
so
incredible,
that
men
of
the
greatest
intelligence
could
not
be
convinced.
The
late
Mr.
Charles
O'Conor
continued
for
years
to
quote
the
fact
that
some
men
believed
that
a
message
had
actually
passed
across
the
Atlantic
as
the
most
amazing
illustration
of
human
credulity!
Happily
he
lived
to
see
and
to
appreciate
to
its
full
value
this
latest
miracle
of
scientific
discovery,
applied
by
human
genius
and
skill.
