But it is questionable whither any ad- vantage would be gained by blocking up the shallow channel to the north of Green Island, while by adopting the shorter Breakwater across the Kellett Bank, that channel might in time, ba considerably despered. Besides, junks will frequently use that channel, if let open; and, practically, the smaller barrier will prove (so say the local experts) to be hardly any obstacle at all to navi- gation.

The blocking up of Kellett Bank in the matner here described will also affectu- ally dispose of the difficulty said to have been experienced of defending that end of the Harbour by, submarino mines. As lights will also have to be placed on the Breakwater, the deer cliannels will thus probably be more efficiently marked than they are at present on dark nights.. There may be objections to the Break- water which are not touched upon here;" and we shall be happy to give publicity to any that may be put forward. As the matter now presents itself, however, no serious difficulty appears to stand in the way of its adoption-except, perhaps, the Military authorities at Home!
