From this date up to the morning of the 1 7th of August no 

 intelligence of any kind was received from the ship. On the 

 morning of that day, the "Great Eastern" was sighted off 

 Crookhaven, and a few hours afterward was telling her story 

 to thousands of waiting ears. But as the story involves fre- 

 quent mention of " testing," " grappling," and ( '' hauling," 

 terms having a much more refined application than is com- 

 monly assigned them, we will wait in hope of another oppor- 

 tunity of bringing a full description of these processes before 

 our readers.
