questioned as to where he proposed to
set the piles to be used he said some
were to be put out ahead and some
astern, but how many are to be used,
or in what way, the Captain is about as

who are here as divers, have found
them about as reticent as it is possible
for men to be, and they are sustaining
their regulations in that respect here.
Presumably no one except those direct
ing the Operations for Clearing the
MIowera will know any more than is
known at present about the plans till
they develop from day to day
