"Sunday,
July
22d.--Still
success
to
record.
A
bright
clear
day,
with
a
fresh
and
invigorating
breeze
from
the
north-west.
Cable
going
out
with
unerring
smoothness,
at
the
rate
of
six
miles
an
hour.
There
has
been
great
improvement
in
the
insulation.
This
remarkable
improvement
is
attributable
to
the
greatly
decreased
temperature
of,
and
pressure
on,
the
cable
in
the
sea.
This
is
a
very
satisfactory
result
to
Mr.
Willoughby
Smith.
Signals,
too,
come
every
hour
more
distinctly.
This
morning
the
breeze
freshened.
We
are
now
about
thirty
miles
to
the
southward
of
the
place
where
the
cable
parted
on
the
second
of
August,
1865,
having
then
paid
out
one
thousand
two
hundred
and
thirteen
miles.
Captain
Anderson
read
divine
service
in
the
dining
saloon.
"Monday.--Between
six
and
seven
P.M.
yesterday,
we
passed
over
the
deepest
part
of
our
course.
There
was
no
additional
strain
on
the
dynamometer,
which
indicated
from
ten
to
fourteen
hundred,
the
cable
going
out
with
its
accustomed
regularity.
The
wind
still
fresh
from
the
north-west.
During
the
night
it
went
round
to
the
southwest,
and
this
morning
there
is
a
long
roll
from
the
southward.
