The Direct United States Cable Co., 



(XjXi«£Xt:h;jD.) 



Notice to Owners and Masters of Fishing Vessels. 



In order to avoid the danger of losing their tackle, and also of damaging 

 the Cables of this Company, captains are requested to give them a wide berth. 



Should an}' vessel, however, lose her anchor or tackle b}- reason of com- 

 ing in contact with the Telegraph Cable, and will use every endeavor to 

 save the same from damage, the Company will — subject to immediate notice 

 being given at either of the Company's stations named below, and full par- 

 ticulars furnished of the circumstances, — reimburse the loss, subject to ad- 

 justment, upon being satisfied of the bona-fldes of the claim. 



The directors in adopting this course confidently believe that masters of 

 vessels will do everything in their power to protect the Cables from injury'. 



As a means of verification, and to euable the tackle to be cleared from 

 the Cable by the Company's repairing ship if considered necessary, it is 

 important (weather permitting) that the slipped anchor should be buoyed 

 by means of a light hawser and wooden spar.
