Most delicate part of his job was a diplomatic misâ€" sionâ€"to "harmonize the con®icting interests of the Montreal Telegraphs and Dominion Telegraphs, who operated, unprofitably, the systems of 2,000â€"0dd inâ€" struments then installed, to come to terms with Bell; if possible to get them to sell their lines, which were merely feeders for their telegraph business. ‘Three widely divergent careers contributed to the background which w=ade Charles Sise the man for this delicate job. ‘rom 18 years of seaâ€"faring came broad experience and selfâ€"reliance; from bis mystery shrouded operations on tehalf of the Conâ€" mmuavuw-r.n-uhw tion: while 12 years in the insurance business in New England had Aeveloped his ingrained Yankee The seafaring career started when Charles, sixth son of a solid citizen of Portsmouth, X« y Hampshire, left Master Harris‘ school for his first voyage.
