Repairs to the cable between St Paul's Island and Meat Cove, Cape Breton have
	finally been completed. The Department of Public Works, with their headquarters
	in Ottawa, has advised that the government steamship 'Tyrian' has returned from
	the repairs.  The 'Tyrian' has now left the Gaspe for the purpose of laying cable
	across the Strait of Belle Isle.  This connection will connect Belle Island
	telegraph station with the government telegraph system on the Labrador mainland.
	Belle Island will then have a permanent telegraphic operation by the end of this
	month. The telegraph operation will unite with the coastal signal service, a 
	most important point on the summer route between European ports of call and along
	St Lawrence River.  Steamships will, hereafter, be reported by telegraph 760
	miles below the Port of Quebec.  Now, a vessel traveling at 20-knots, taking the
	summer course, can communicate her arrival on this side of the Atlantic in less
	than four days' out from Liverpool, England.

	[NOTE: In 1847, the British North American Telegraph Company tried a similar
	telegraphic setup but along the St Lawrence from Gaspe. Ships were to report
	to the office and the telegraph office would let ports-of-call know of their
	pending arrival. However, the telegraph was new and untried and captains were
	skeptical, so its failure was predicatble. The Dominion Telegraph also tried to
	maintain such a service but by 1866, the company was absorbed and the idea
	left forgotten until the above time ... some of this aspect is covered in my book
	      Canadian Railway Telegraph History as well.]
