was continuing in a very satisfactory
manner. A steamer drawing twenty-five
beet and four inches crossed the bar last
autumn while the greatest draft cross
ing the bar before the jettes were built
was nineteen feet, and this was bumped
across az high tide. There has been form
"a without dred ging a nineteen foot chan
mel leading from the deepest part Of the
jettv channel past the outer end OF the
north ietty. 1t is predicted that this VIII
