How the German Cables Were Diverted. A war measure establishes a scientific fact
Caption 1: From Brest to Monrovia the Dacia steamed, recovering severed German cables. Hardly was the task accomplished than the ship was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine
Caption 2: The cable-ship Dacia picked up the German cable at a depth of two and a quarter miles, and hauled it to the surface: the feat necessitated the overcoming of many serious difficulties
Caption 3: A special grapnel was devised for the purpose of raising the cable; the operation was a very delicate one owing to the fact that the German cable was laid under those of the Allies
Caption 4: This is the cable-ship Dacia, which was outfitted during the war for the work of retrieving German deep-sea cables and of rearranging them for use by the French government
Caption 5: Showing the interior of a cable tank of the ship Dacia, where the cable was wound on a huge spool until it was relaid
Caption 6: Four months after the work of reclaiming the German cable was started, the ends were respliced by the method shown here and then it was used by the Allies
