Cooke suspended some thirteen miles of copper, in a shed at the Euston terminus, and exhibited his needle and his chronometric telegraph in action to the directors one morning. But the official trial took place as we have already described in the life of Wheatstone. The telegraph was soon adopted on the Great Western Railway, and also on the Blackwall Railway in 1841.
"It was off Blackwall the other day. I went to see it, 'The Flying Dutchman, a fine vessel, and carries guns." "Enough. Now, heed me. There can be no immediate danger to Violante, so long as Peschiera does not meet her, so long as we know his movements. You are about to marry his sister.
