NAVIGATION for large vessels which has bee recently
reflected by the enterprise Of that Company between
Norfolk and the Sounds and their tributary rivers, OF
North Carolina. Two short ship canals, the one be-
tween Elizabeth and North Landing rivers, the other
between Currituck Sound AID North River, the
means by which this has been effected little addi
