The Story of the Atlantic Telegraph
·
Henry M. Field
311
That
same
afternoon,
as
soon
as
the
shore
end
was
landed,
Captain
Anderson
and
the
officers
of
the
fleet
went
in
a
body
to
the
little
church
in
Heart's
Content,
to
render
thanks
for
the
success
of
the
expedition.
A
sermon
was
preached
on
the
text,
"There
shall
be
no
more
sea,"
and
all
joined
in
the
sublime
prayers
and
thanksgivings
of
the
Church
of
England.
Thus
the
voyage
ended
as
it
began.
It
left
the
shores
of
Ireland
with
prayers
wafted
after
it
as
a
benediction.
And
now,
safely
landed
on
the
shores
of
the
New
World,
this
gallant
company,
like
Columbus
and
his
companions,
made
it
their
first
thought
to
render
homage
to
the
Being
who
had
borne
them
safely
across
the
deep.
