"Some six weeks since a letter was sent

| reported full depth water on the Passes
! While pilots were constantly denying the
accuracy of of these reports and informing
ship agents that it was not safe to load
vessels to the depth given by engineers as
being in the Passes, we were given to un-
1erstand that this letter had been sent to
the local board of engineers for investiga-
ton. So far, however, no reply has been
received from the secretary OF war.
"Our experience during the st two
weeks has been very unfortunate in having
our vessels repeatedly grounded, both on
approaching the head of the Passes and in-
sile the Passes at the head This matter
has become very serious to ship owners,
who are hesitating about sending gessels to
this port. Our steamship, the Barbadian,
to sea, and grounded at the head of the
Passes, and remained there until two pow
erfu tugs could he sent down to pull her
off.
