* We got over it, however ; but it is a warning to me that my future difficulties will arise from parts wearing out. Yesterday the cable was often a lovely sight, coming out of the water one large incrustation of delicate, net-like corals and long, white curling shells. No portion of the dirty black wires was visible; instead we had a garland of soft pink with little scarlet sprays and white enamel intermixed. All was fragile, however, and could hardly be secured in safety ; and inexorable iron... crushed the tender leaves to atoms. — This morning at the end of my watch, about 4 o'clock, we came to the buoys, proving our anticipations right concern- ing the crossing of the cables. I went to bed for four hours, and on getting up, found a sad mess. A tangle of the six-wire cable hung to the grapnel which had been left buoyed, and the small cable had parted and is lost for the present.
Our hauling of the other day must have done the mischief.
'June 23.
*We contrived to get the two ends of the large cable and to pick the short end up.
