141 - L June 16; ed: 2/1 - Secretary Seward told the Senate that the
line projected by Collins, from the Pacific telegraph to the Amoor River,
with its anticipated extension by the Russian government to Irkutsk, º
would be the one link now wanted to supply direct and unbroken telegraph
communication from Cape Race in Newfoundland, on the Eastern coast of
America, across the Eastern and Western continents and the Pacific Ocean,
to Cape Clear in Ireland, the westermost projection of Europe. -
A submarine cable laid between Cape Clear and Cape Race will complete
a telegraphic circuit around the world between the parallels of 42 degrees
and 65 degrees north latitude. (11)
