This is our third day, and since the two ships started from mid ecean we have paid out a greater Jength of cable than was ever laid before. We hardly dare ack ourselves if we shall lay the line the whole dia- tavce-—it seems too mucn to hope for—and we dreai to think of the future, We count the day pot by hours, but yy ‘minutes, and retire at night not to sleep, but to think rough the tedious and weary moments of the ull-absorb- wg sunject.

Confidence is growing stronger, and there is consider- able speculation as to tne time we sball reach Newfound ‘and. The pilot who is to bring as into Trinity Bay is now to great repute, and is becoming a more import- ant personage every day. His opinion is solicited in re- gard to che weather, as he is supposed to know something ‘edout it im these Jativudes, and he is particularly catechised on the avigation of the bay and the formation and charac- ter of the coast, Weare really beginning to have strong hopes that his services will be called into requisitien, and ‘let in the course of a few days more we will be in sight of iwod, The night bas passed without accident, the baro- meter is rising and the wind has gone round to the north- west, @sure indication that we will have clear weather. But the sea is not at all so smooth as it was the day before; 14 ts in fact #0 rough as to favor the belief that thore must pave Deen a severe gale a sbort time since in these lati- tudes. The wind is also very perceptibly increasing, and there are serious misgivings that we are going to have ‘hat threatened gale now. The condition of the vessel is uch as to alarm us for the safety of the cable, stould tt come on to blow very bard, as the large amount quantity of coal consumed, have igbtewed ber #0 mach as w render her rather uncasy to a beavy fea.

There waa neither house Bor jog cabin on the epot, and were the spectator not ia- formed thai the station bad occupied a particular spot, ho would bave bad somo difficulty in finding the precive piace where it wae located. The station was simply two up- right poles planted in the earth and rising to @ height of about three and « baif feet, aud having a board three feet lor g and five inches wide uailed on top. Upon this a small instrument for tranemittiog meseages was placed, and oa this instrument Mr. MeKay, the Superiotendent of she Mines of Newfoundland, opersted He took it down con after the cabie was landed, pus the instra- ment in bis pocket, and literally speaking, walked away with the station. I} would, bowsver, have been a some what difficult maiter to dispose of the Atlaatic telegraph sta\ion in the same manocer, aad the maa who shoud un dertake the task would have bad a herculean labor to perform. The reader has been made acquainted with the feet that it ia builbon the side of @ bill; that it hes but one door, and that opens on the side; that it is two stories high, with parlor, a kitchen and several bedrooms; that it ig constructed mainly of wood; toat it is five miles from the pearest house and fifteen miies from the nearest vil- lage; that an attempt has been mado to clear away the wood which bema it in on almost every side, and anally, that itis iu the midst ofa perfect wilacrness; but as yet be knows nothing of the wonderful domestic life thai ex- ists Loside of thas same house, and of the strange doivgs that take place therein, especially tn the culinary departments. I may begin by stating that thero are eleven oncupants, and when | say that these cocupania are ail of tho masou line gender, the reason why things are not as they ought to be in that house will at once become apparent, No one ought to be surprised, for instence, if the bread is not well baked, the meat not sufficiently cooked, the tea too week or too strong, the potatoos— whenever they got them—boiled to smash, or not boiled at ail, or if the fire requires to be kindled at least balf a dozen times a day, Nor shou.d they be astonished if the beds aro not mate just tll the cecupant i* rendy to get into it; aad if, according to the seme system, the taolo utensii# are not cleaned tli ‘everything is cooked and reaay to g00a te table, Al! this is expiained by the fact that there sre no women to co these things, and if the Telegraph Company shoud permit them t live es they now are, tuetr reiapas tate a ptaie of sem!
