Personal reminiscences of James AScrymser, in times of peace and war . Decree which grantedto Messrs. Arturo Marcoartu, the Marquises of Mariano andManzanedo, the Count of Esteban de Canongo, Michael Chevalier, Ferdinand de Lesseps and Leopold Werner, authority to establishthe very cable connection for which I had petitioned. I wasstunned, and upon examination of the Royal Decree found thatthe language of the same was identical with the wording of myown petition!
