ably lower now than 1t has been in any
previous year since 1887, when the wa.
ter in the bay was barely sutliciou, to
float the larger class of steam vessels "a.
float at that time. Heavily freighted
vessels found it impossible to enter Toe
do through the bay, aud the grounding Of
steamers and vessels in the bay was no
uncommon occurrence. The Blade does
not anticipate any difficulty to vessels or
steamers in the navigation ofihe channel
during the present season, but fears lha
by 1853 the necessity tor deeper chan
mel through the bay will be realized. The
Blade urges that means be taken to Sc
