GALVESTON, January 1i.-From Wash
SdgtOn dispatch in reference 20 the report of
Lieutenant Quinn on the Galveston harbor
improvements, it appears that the board Of
army engineers are not informed in the
t<,% of II, a.
late storm. Lieutenant Quinn states the
wind came from various directions on the
occasion referred to-frst from the east
after which it veered around to the north;
the greatest force reached, therefore, was
ut right angles of the jstties, So far 40 the
action of the wind and waves was con-
eernel. But the result Of the north wind
wss TO drive the waters ont OF the bay, and
the action exerted by :he storn in this
instance was therefore parallel with the
;etty, this action coming from the current
which flows eastwardly.
In view Of the depth Of water in which
She gabions are sunk, lieutenant Quinn 10
apprehensiye of little danger, if any, from
the waves. The disturbed surface Of the
sea exerts an influence in the direction in
which the waves are rolling only slight
depth below the hollow OF these waves.
This seems 10 be well established fact.
Especially is it likely to be the case where |
currents are produced or existing currents l
Cuickened by the action Of the wind. He |
.noreover believes. from the teachings OF |
experience during the stormy and windy }
season Of several weeks past, that tho |
greatest danger is to be feared from under |
mining parallel currents, rather than from
:ny force that strikes the jetties at right !
,.ugles But as the gabions have a !
depth Of from five to six feet Of water over
.hem, the danger to be unprecedented from
waves ia slight, while currents flowing
literally east or west are tho principal
enemies to be contended with As to the
water, that finds an egress by rushing
:rounh the end of the jetties, while it may |
disturb somewhat the position of one or
two OF the end gabions, it exerts u counter
ANA beneficial effect in banking up the
sand on the south side. Water forced in |
from the Gulf it comparatively harmless,
on account, Of course, peculiar to the curse I
il take.
as the work progresses, Lieutenant I
eluina watches the effects Of the water
esoseiT order to keep posted On the
causes !.lsreoi.
