PACIFIC CABLE
DUPLICATION COMPLETE. The Pacific Cable Board announces the completion of the laying of the new cables from Bamfield ‘to Fanning Island, and from Fanning Island to Suva. The final splice was made on the latter at 2 p.m. on Saturday, and on the Bamfield-Fnnning Island section at 3 p.m. on Sunday. Both cables nre reported to be testing satisfactorily. The work has been delayed on account of exceptionally unfavourable weather at both Fanning Island and Suva. The cables remain in the contractors’, hands for a further thirty days, and if they continue to test electrically perfect for that period of submersion, they are then taken over by the board for the transmission of traffic.
