The Story of the Atlantic Telegraph
·
Henry M. Field
338
The
scene
at
Heart's
Content,
when
the
fleet
appeared
the
second
time,
was
one
that
beggars
description.
Its
arrival
was
not
unexpected,
for
the
success
on
Sunday
morning,
that
had
been
telegraphed
to
Ireland,
was
at
once
flashed
across
the
Atlantic,
and
the
people
were
watching
for
its
coming.
As
the
ships
came
up
the
harbor
it
was
covered
with
boats,
and
all
were
wild
with
excitement;
and
when
the
big
shore-end
was
got
out
of
the
Medway,
and
dragged
to
land,
the
sailors
hugged
it
and
almost
kissed
it
in
their
extravagance
of
joy;
and
no
sooner
was
it
safely
landed
than
they
seized
Mr.
Field,
Mr.
Canning,
and
Mr.
Clifford
in
their
arms,
and
raised
them
over
their
heads,
while
the
crowd
cheered
with
tumultuous
enthusiasm.
