AN UNFINISHED WORK.

The commendation which has been so heartily
and so deservedIy given TO the work thus far
done on the national harbor OF refuge at Polnt
Judith must be mingled with some regret at
the strange delay in completing that important
undertaking by the addition of few compara-
lively minor but decidedly essential details
What these details are we have heretofore ex-
pained The need of them, as well as the great
value of the general work of which they will
ha the comDIetion has been impressivey
demonstrated by more than one recent occur
renee.
The remarkable thing is that the enterprise
having proceeded thus far. should now for some
secret If not sinister reason be held at a stand
still AT the last session Congress in its river
and harbor bill provided that the Secretary OF
War might cause an examination 10 be mace
with Il view TO determine what further improve
ments. if any should be made in the Point
Judith refuge That was evidently an invita-
ton for estimates of the cost of completing
the work and an implied promise that upon
such report and recommendation the needed
appropriation would be made. In addition 10

certainly should not be possible for any subor-
dinate TO thwart the intent or to misguide the
policy Of the department. The appalling record
of costly and fatal disasters and the recent
thrilling experiences and narrow escapes OF
vessels and their passengers in that region of
peculiar peril emphasize Enthusiastically the need
of developing 70 its fullest extent and of
-Quipping in the most efficient manner the
harbor Of refuge which already in its incom-
plpte state has far more than repaid in bene-
fits all the expenditures which have been made
upon it,

action will soon be GDnOunced. and that prompt
