Kellett's Bank has been sounded rose the vicinity of the Light-ship especially on the line of the junks sunk there twelve months ago. The only inequality observable was one sounding S. W. W. (Mag.) 300 feet from the Light-ship - three feet less water being obtained.
The water found on the Bank is practically the same as in 1888 the date of the last survey.
I am of opinion that the junks have gone to pieces and the stone lading has sunk into the mud.
No silt was observable.

Assistant Harbour Master.
