and the Sierra was carried of her
course as a result.
When coming here from the Coast in
command of the Australia. a somewhat
similar current was felt. which carried
the Australia even farther to the west
OF Rabbit Island than was the case
with the Manchuria.
Even stronger evidence to the same
effect was that given by Captain Stin-
son. of the Transport Logan, which
followed the Manchuria from the Coast,
arriving here two days after the acct
dent. Captain Stinson, in speaking of
the very strong current which the Lo-
gan had met with. remarked that it
was a fortunate thing that Oahu was
approached by daylight as the vessel
was twelve miles to the west more
than she should have been and more
than the course set for her would have
made had the usual state of affairs in
the water existed.
Before sailing for Manila. Captain
Stinson wrote letter to Captain Saun-
ders setting forth these facts and stat
ing further that he was prepared at
any time to testify before any commits
sion of inquiry that the running ashore
of the Manchuria was in his opinion
due altogether to the extraordinary
current and not to bad seamanship on
the part of Captain Saunders.

Appomattox Rivers, the county lying al
most entirely between the two.
"On the north there is the James River
distance OF 10 miles. and from Manches-
ter to the mouth of the Appomattox River
the length of the James is 81 miles. In
the 10 miles west of Manchester the James
River has n total fall of 1I6 feet. The
total discharge of the James River at a
period when the volume was lowest. was
measured in 1850 and found to be 1882 GU
bic feet per second. The winter discharge
is much greater. usually from four thou
sand to ten thousand cubic feet per Sec
ond. The usual summer discharge of the
river Is about 900 cubic feet per second.
During freshets the discharge Is
again much greater, and at one
time, in 1871. the discharge was
estimated to have reached the enormous
quantity of 10000 cubic feet per second.
The river, however, is so well Regulated
and it's capacity for discharge so great,
that this great volume OF water was
carried off without loss or destruction OF
property.
Various plans have been proposed for
impounding this great supply of water
and utilizing by storage means this vast
power, and adapting 1t to the uses and
needs of manufacturing and other pur-
poses. The physical condition of the river
renders there plans perfectly feasible, and
1t is believed that they will be ultimate
ly carried OUT

Navigable Water Front.

Turning now to the water frontage
which is navigable, 1t will be seen at once
that in this Manchester and Chesterfield
has an heirloom from nature that is I'M
surpassed: Beginning at Manchester and
going eastward. Chesterfield county has,
on the James River, water frontage OF 81
miles. The announced and permanent
project of the Improvement of the James
River by the United States government
is to make channel 2, feet deep at low
water equal to % feet at high water all
along this section.

is already depth of 16 feet at high tide,
and In short time this 10 feet VIII
be increased to %.
"There are few localities in the world
where the water frontage Is better. Fur
Their than this, while the present OFF,
cial plan is to obtain 90 feet at low water.
it is to be observed that 1t Is quite prac-
teal, and within reasonable limits as to
cost, to obtain channel thirty feet deep
az low water from the sea as fay as
Drewry's Bluff. Arriving at Drewry's
Bluff, the project is to have lock gates
and basin and channel fed by water
from the James at Manchester. AS
series of basins could be constructed at
a minimum cost by the proper placing OF
eXcavated material upon the leyees be-
tween them and the river, and as the
level OF the water now In the Manchester
canal is Just about what is needed for
the elevation of the water in the grand
basins, above low tide In the river, It
follows that the construction OF such
basins are feasible, are economical, anu
are possessed OF many advantages.
Thus, the water discharged in opening
the locks can be utilized for charging
