The grounding of the Peshawar reminds mo that during my residence bere, extending ever fully so years, I have seen several line vessels practically "piled up" on the same spot as the Peshawar made herasif so well acquainted with. It may, and with some show of reason, be avered that the Parkower and other vessels could not have grounded on Yau-ma-it Spit had they not steamed within the limits marked as unsafe (1 dotted line) on the chart at least so lots of people surmiss. But whether that is so or not there can be no doubt thats tescon should be erected on the outer edge of Yau-ma-ti Spit and thereby have the naviga tion of that part of the harbour, where the tidal current is very strong at times, rendered perfectly safe which it certainly is not at present,
