TO make myself quite sure in regard to the
statements and figures which am about to
give, I have consulted the authorities, and
lind they give the height Of these seas even
greater than have given them by two feet;
but shall conane myself right to my own OBJ
scryations in regard to them, and place them at
thirteen feet According to Col. D. c. Hous-
ten, Major Of Engineers, U. s. A., ne have seas
fifteen feet high, which, in a storm, move with
avelocity OF 5000 feet Per minute, and the pier
or crib against which q sea dashes must
be able. to sustain a blow for each
falling distance Of ninety-6vc feet, five times
each minute. Assuming the waves to be only
thirteen feet high In ] gale, rushing as they do
against the crib, q broadside OF fity-nine 1eet,
the stroke Of single wave is equai to, at least,
ute, would he 10000 tons each minute, and
600 Goo tons per hour, and for continuous gale
Of seventy hours, Il, co., GOO tons; and during
one season averaging six OF these storms, which
will be q very moderate estimate, ,o0U
tons pressure, which it Is necessary to meet and
resist, This is not all, for every great wave
striking it, the crib receives three separate and
distinct shocks OF nearly equal force; for. If it
moyes at all, and have shown that 1t does move
considerably, which cannot be denied, the first
blow
THROWS THE CRIB
past the perpendicular towards the south or
southwest; then, as soon ns the wave has spent
its force, the crib rebounds back past the per-
nendicular towards the north or northeast, and
finally to its usual resting place, ready for the
next matchmaking three successive vibrations
or Jerking shocks Tor each great wave, each
tending inevitably towards the destruction OF
this crib.
These figures will be very interesting TO any
Intelligent ana thinking man, especially Il ne Is
a nropertv-owner in this city aud has family.
I repeat, they will be very interesting indeed,
If he chooses to extend the results along for
series of years must add right here that the
assurance given to THE TRIBUNE last Septcm~
bcr, by men who ought to know these results,
was an assumption that was an Insult to
reason. Should any accident happen to this
institution, we would scarcely. be able
to give our property away Tor months
and months to come As It would require two
yaars to apafn make connections with these tun-
nels. This city cannot afford to allow one mans
OF any dozen mems fortunes and
to stand between them and the per
fcct safety Of this crib. Having shown with
WHIST this crib has to contend, and the unneces-
sary load it has to carry through these storms.

cations ahead Of this danger, which l have
