Kowloon, dated 22nd.October,1909.
To the Honourable
The Colonial Secretary.
sir,
Not much damage was done by the typhoon to
the Railway works. The chief damage was in the nature of slips
in the unfinished cuttings and the new banks. The stone pitch-
-ing resisted the waves wonderfully well and only in a few
places wehere on new banks was any damage done.
Work had to close down in Beacon Hill
Tunnel because no one could work outside tipping the excavated
material or loading bricks for the masonry.
I have ato.,
(sd.) G. W. Eves,
Chief Resident Engineer.
