A fault appeared eighty miles of underwater Atlantic cable after insulation failed, traced to a splice fragment snagging the pay-out system. Great Eastern devised a repair using the winding gear, locating the fault eleven miles from the stern, and the operation caused about a day of delay with calm seas and minimal drift.
