Two million and a half in American dollars is what the cable from San Francisco to Honolulu cost. The English manufacturers get about $1100 a mile for it laid and spliced and in every serviceable condition. The wire alone connecting San Francisco and Honolulu represents that much actual cash paid over by an American millionaire to an English manufacturing concern. And very many little messages at the rate of fifty cents a word must go through the wire in order to pay interest on the capital invested, and thousands of words must pass to yield a profitable income.

Waikiki beach, where the cable is landed, is just four and two-thirds miles from the center of the city of Honolulu, where the cable office is located.
