She was put into the transport ser- vice, and in July, rooo, was overhauled and refitted as a cable ship at More Iron Works, Brooklyn,

She arrived in Dumaguete, Negros, on the 25th, and on the afternoon of the same day picked out the landing for the cable which was to be laid. The necessary trench was dag and the shore end of the cable buried therein. The ship then paid out the remainder of the cable, heading for Oriquers, Mindanao. Heavy surf prevented a landing there so the following day the ship headed for Misamis, where she arrived on the morning of the 19th.

Since their construction much trouble has been experienced from breaks and leakages in these cables. This trouble has been caused partly from seismic disturbances in the ocean depths, two breaks from this cause having taken place in comparatively deep water. in some cases cables were laid in barbours in such a maoner that ships anchoring there could not avoid, at times, interfaring with the cable, In other cases poorly armored cables have been laid in very strong tidal cursante over a coral

bottom.

This is the case with the cables in and out of Zamboanga and the Jolo line, through- out a considerable part of the distance. The currents in their ebb and flow sweep these wires over the sharp, rocky bottom, and in a few months the insulation is destroyed, and the line rendered useless.
