I Their Unwillingness -to I)Ig Under
I the East River, Pearson & Son of
� London Went In and Triomph;int.
Ily Completed the Task.
Tunnelling is a very ancient art,
1which the Romans in their day effect-
i?d many notable improvements in;
but some of our modern constructions
In this branch of practicaJ engineering
br"ould assuredly have set the man of
d Rome into a state of amaxement,
bould they but have foreseen their
audacity and extent.
I One of the most remarkable Uatis in
the entire history of tunnelling bvA
quite recently been carried te, a tri-
umphant conclusion by a British Arai.
Messrs. S. Pearson & Son. Pearson's
have achieved many engineering mar.
,
Fels in various parts of the globe ' but
laone, of which they are prouder than
the one whick we are about to de-
scribe.
f This is the tunnelling of the East
River at New York and the linking
up of the railway system from Man-
hatton Island to Long Island City.
The long neck of land upon which
New York City stands is separated
from the mainland by two narrow
thannels on each side; and before
the new tunnel -through which trains
are now regularly running -was com- .
1pleted, fen -y boats provided the Only.
means of tTansit, a matter of immense
inconvenience to myriads of pa*on-
gers. ,�
Hitherto there has been only one
important railway station in the Em-
pire City -the New York Central. The
Pennsylvania Railway now extends
iright across New York by tunnels un-
der the Hudson River on one side
and beneath the East River on the
other, thus bringing Long Island City -
into direct communication.
Not any American firm of %-ngine,ers
could be found ready to tackle the
tremendously difficuli task presen&-d
by the construc-tion of the tunnels un-
der the, East River; but Messrs Pear-
son-wbo have had more experience
[of this branch of engineering than
any other contractors in the world --
undertook the work in face of condi-
tions involving very oonsiderable risk.
and have now completed it in the
most satisfactory way.
. Pearson's had done some. su"P,4sfill
�unnelling, years ago, b-neath the
Rudson River at New York; and their .
iexperiencPs since the finish Of the
first great piece of sub-acueons boring
have been greatly expainded. Parti-
iculaTly in mrino-etion with the making
1of the Blackwell Tunnel beneath the
'
Thames had they obtained further
bniast�ery of the secrets and perils of
Ishif-ting clay, American enginp,ers had
Patched with interest the diffieulties
that this famous -firm bad overcome
in London, and there wag not much
�surprise expressed in the United'
113tates when it was found that Pear-
,
ison's had undertaken a job,which DO'
american contractors dared to
1handle. But it was a sore Point with
the Yankees th have to be taught how
1to do things by the Britisher. Before
�bey could me to work Messrs * Pear-
Ison were compelled too register them.
selves as.an American firm, and had
Imoreover to accept a risk of $2�000.000
ishould they not succeed in carrying
'out their contract. This. b"ever. in
ino way dismayed the great English
tfirm. The bright lexicon ,of Pearson
lknows no such word as "fail."
