Still another remark:

Maybe the crew of the repairing ship was to verify their chronometer rate by 
double altitude method ashore, because the precise time wasn't sent through 
the cable when they needed it - I wonder whether time signals were 
transmitted through cables regularly, athough they were certainly used for 
special purposes. But were regular time signals available on the cable at 
least once during the day? I don't know, but I doubt about it.
