Unfortunately, the telegram failed to reach its destination, and was doubtless delayed or mislaid in the confusion of numberless war messages. The first news that reached Europe about the comet was obtained by means of a telegram on September 12, from Dr. Cruls, director of the observatory of the Emperor of Brazil. Sir David Gill was anxious to prove Mr. Finlay’s claim to priority in discovering the comet, but, as we have already seen, he had been forestalled by astronomers in Australia, and some claim should be allowed for the “early railroad workers” in Auckland, New Zealand, who were actually the first to see the comet, though their observation thereof had no practical value. For a while the comet was known as the Cruls comet, but now it is generally referred to as the great comet of 1882, or the Daylight comet. However, later on, as we have already noted, it had a rival as a Daylight comet in 1910, when a fine comet resembling the plume-like appearance of the comet of Donati was seen to advantage in England. The great comet had another rival in popularity in the year 1882, for on May 17, when Dr. Schuster was developing photographic plates taken during a total eclipse of the sun which occurred on that date, he found a miniature comet seemingly entangled in the outer rays of the corona. This is the sun’s crown of glory which can be seen only during the time the glare of sunlight is hidden from view by the moon coming directly between the sun and the earth. The consequent darkness, or totality, as it is called, can never exceed a duration of eight minutes, and on this occasion during a still briefer interval of time the little comet was captured by means of the camera. Thus, a permanent record was secured of its presence near the sun, but as it had not been seen before nor was it seen afterward, its motion must have been extremely rapid, and it may possibly have been drawn inward and consumed by the intense solar heat. Despite its small size and brief career, it is distinguished by the name of Tewfik, after the then Khedive of Egypt. It has been suggested that the comet may be kin to, or one and the same with, a comet which had its photograph taken during the total eclipse of the sun, April 16, 1893, having a period like that of the sun-spots, of about eleven years.
