Location and Cost of the Pro-
posed Breakwater.
Extracts from the official report OF
Major w. Fl. H. Benyaund regarding
San Pedro harbor appear in Sun
days Chronicle and locate the position
of the proposed breakwater. 1t is as
follows:
Starting at the three-fathom curve
at point inside of Point Fermin, a
direction south AZ east is given to the
westerly arm of the breakwater for a
distance of $500 feet, which carries it
beyond a line projected from the
anchorage ground to the westerly
end Of Catalina Island, and
gives protection to seas from
the southwest. A gap of 1000
feet is left, and the westerly
arm, $500 feet long, running north rs
east, is located SO as to extend beyond
lines drawn from the anchorage
ground as above to the westerly end
of Catalina island and Point San Juan
Capistrano, and afford shelter from
seas coming from the southeast be-
tween those two points. The gap is
covered from the southerly seas
by Catalina island, as before mem
toned. The position OF the two arms
of the breakwater, thus approximate
| ly fixed, may be changed within
slight limits, as further study o. the
conditions may seem necessary. Yes
ST. Is may use the gap or they may go
around the westerly end either for
entrance Ur exit, according as the
direction OF the wind may render
either cou re desirable; the open
ings left will allow free circulation
of the cur ents, and tend TO prevent
any deposition of material within
the sheltered area. For the form 81

be obtained at Catalina island.

4 Washington story.

WAsrIycT0y, Sept 20-One Of the
best known correspondents here has q
niece, q young girl of 49, who was born
blind. Ten years ago her uncle and bis
wife resided in Brooklyn, and the then
little blind girl lived with thcm. One
dev they were in q street car, tho little
girl occupying q seat away from her uncle
and aunt and beside q fine looking old
gentleman. who became quite interested
in the child. As they rode along mill
tary company came down the street, and
the old gentleman called his companions
attention to it.
There, he said, If you viii look ont
through this window YOU will see the
best drilled body Of men in the city.
She turned her sightless eyes 10 him.
But can't look out, she said simply
Il am blind"
The old gentleman looked az her in a
quick, nervous way, with a world Of ten
derness in his face, and the tears started
in his own eyes. He said nothing, but
began to fdget around in his seat, look
ing every now and then at the child, and
finally, as the car stopped in the crowd,
he hurriedly rose to leave.
GOOD by, little one, be said, taking
her hand good by. and God be with
you," and the next minute he had disaP-
peared among the people, leaving some
thing in the hand he had held in his
ovn.
The uncle and aunt had been noticing
the little scene, and when he had gone
she told them what he had said and hold
ing out her hand asked what IL YVES he
had given ner. They looked, and there
lay twenty dollar gold piece in her palm.
It was too late 10 explain and restore the
money, for the good heart that prompted
the good deed was beyond recall, and
there was no way Of telling who the gen.
tleman was, 50 all that could be done was
10 keep the gold piece and the young
girl has it now among her choicest treas
ures as a souvenir Of man whose Ike is
too seldom found n tlis world, where
charity comes only at the bidding.
