92/ Mongkoktsui Breakwater - Typhoon Refuge for Small Craft. -Dredging for the foundation trench of the breakwater was continued and was nearly completed. The quantity dredged during the year was 256,000 cubic yards, of which 207,000 had been done by the end of July when the dredger was placed in the hands of the Government Marine Surveyor with a view to the execution of any necessary repairs.
The vessel was docked at Taikoo Shipyard on the 9th of September for a complete overhaul to her hull and, after coming out of dock but whilst still in the hands of the Shipyard Co., driven ashore during the typhoon of the 19th October close to the Taikoo Sugar Refinery. She was refloated on the 30th October and was found to be but little damaged, the extent of her injuries being a few bent plates which were taken off, straightened and replaced. She resumed work on the 19th November, after an interval of fully 3 months.
An Ordinance authorizing the construction of the breakwater and other works was passed by the Legislative Council in November under the title of "The Harbour of Refuge Ordinance 1909".
Negotiations were in progress with the lessees of Kowloon Marine Lot 32 with regard to the arrangement of a reclamation adjoining their lot, which it was considered advisable to make on account of a dangerous rocky shoal near the Northern entrance to the refuge, but these had not reached a conclusion by the close of the year.

Causeway Bay Typhoon Refuge-Deepening shallow area to one foot below Ordnance Datum.-Reference was made in last year's report to the commencement of this work, which was undertaken in accordance with the recommendation of the Public Works Committee (vide minutes of meeting held on 4th January, 1908). The work was nearly completed, 90,000 cubic yards of material being removed during the year. A portion of this material, amounting to 34,000 cubic yards, was utilized in reclaiming an area of foreshore between Marine Lots 285 and Inland Lot 1,588, extending to 99,570 square feet in area. The reclamation is protected by a rubble mound faced with a pitched slope.
