A necessary survey was made, and as the nature of the country is such, we found it necessary to define the line as we proceeded, as it was impossible in many instances to make our way through the brushwood and difficult in all to carry instruments or work on the steep sidelong ground.

On the completion of the survey the plan was completed and submitted for the consideration of His Excellency The Governor. It comprised one main line to Stanley with two branches, one to the cottage Heonghong, and the other to Tsytam Village. The work at the commencement of the line offering some very considerable difficulties and consequent expense of construction, I proposed three modes of passing the summit, which is nearly 600 feet above mean water. The first and most expensive makes the line available for carriages, but the other two are exceedingly steep, parts being 1 in [?] and therefore are nearly impracticable for wheel carriages; after passing the summit the line presents some difficulties of construction but the gradients are most favourable. This work occupied the continued attention of Captain Bowper and myself for a period of two months during the usual working hours and out of office, and the whole scheme...
