point there is a covering over shaft which one
appears to know the depth Of. The shaft has been
locked up for the past three months, and few ii any
have seen the IN ide OF it. There is no windass
the shaft, and this is assigned a reason for not
letting visitors down. Recently donkey engine
has been sent up but it has not been put in yet.
No work of any importance has been done at the
