The Story of the Atlantic Telegraph
·
Henry M. Field
269
[B]
"All
during
the
night
the
process
of
picking
up
was
carefully
carried
on,
the
Big
Ship
behaving
beautifully,
and
hanging
lightly
over
the
cable,
as
if
fearful
of
breaking
the
slender
cord
which
swayed
up
and
down
in
the
ocean.
Indeed,
so
delicately
did
she
answer
her
helm,
and
coil
in
the
film
of
thread-like
cable
over
her
bows,
that
she
put
one
in
mind
of
an
elephant
taking
up
a
straw
in
its
proboscis."--Russell.
[C]
So
exquisitely
sensitive
was
the
copper
strand,
that
as
the
Great
Eastern
rolled,
and
so
made
the
cable
pass
across
the
magnetic
meridian,
the
induced
current
of
electricity,
incomprehensibly
faint
as
it
must
have
been,
produced
nevertheless
a
perceptible
deviation
of
the
ray
of
light
on
the
mirror
galvanometer
at
Foilhommerum.--London
Times.
