...York-to-London cable costing about $4,000,000, that will be eight times as fast and efficient as any now joining these two cities. At Bay Roberts, 150 Newfoundlanders bundled on their oilskins and went down the beach through a driving rain to drag in the monstrous sea-serpent of twisted copper, brass, guttapercha and "permalloy" brought in to them by the cable-layer Colonia.

As they trudge along they sing, and the Wurlitzer accompanies them with most sombre effect. In the final chapter, we have the same music, the same words, but with true DeMillian touch, the characters have changed. The prince, in his emaculate uniform, the princess, in her satin slippers and glittering evening gown, and others in like garb, have replaced the ragged horde that formerly stumbled along the narrow tow-path...
