SURVEY OF THE LANDING-PLACES FOR THE PROPOSED CABLES; REPORTED BY ALLEN
YOUNG, ESQ., F.R.G.S., COMMANDER OF THE STEAM YACHT “FOX” EXPEDITION;
WITH REMARKS BY SIR CHARLES BRIGHT, F.R.A.S., F.R.G.S.
The LORD ASHBURTON.--The next is Sir Charles Bright’s paper upon
Captain Allen Young’s Reports, which will be read by Mr. Galton, viz.:
I have been requested by the promoters of the North Atlantic Telegraph
to present to the Royal Geographical Society, a synopsis of the report
which has been handed to me by Captain Allen Young, upon his recent
voyage in the steam yacht “Fox,” and his careful and elaborate survey
of the proposed telegraphic route between Europe and America, by way
of the Færöes, Iceland, and Greenland. The history of this important
undertaking, up to the present date, will probably be familiar to the
minds of most persons present, and I will therefore commence with the
departure of the “Fox” from Southampton, on the 19th June, for the
Færöes, where she arrived on the 3rd of August.
