| HENRY ASH SKETCHES: 1894
|
| New York Times: LONDON, April 12, 1894. The steamer Faraday, with a part of the Commercial Cable Company's new cable, sailed from here today. The cable is to be laid from Waterville, Ireland, to Nova Scotia. The entire cable will be about 2,000 miles long. The Faraday, not being large enough to carry the whole cable, will drop the shore sections, about 500 miles, first, and then lay the deep-sea cable, which is smaller than the shore ends. The cable was manufactured by Siemens Brothers & Co. of London. |

| New York Times: NEWPORT. R. I., Aug. 27, 1894. The cable steamer Faraday of the Mackay-Bennett Commercial Cable Company sailed for New-York this afternoon. The visit of this strange visitor to these waters is for the purpose of landing the company's cable at Coney Island. The feat is expected to be difficult of accomplishment, because of the heavy currents. |
