A HARBOUR OF REFUGE FOR HONGKONG,

The following letters appear in the cor respondence of the Chamber of Com-

morce -

Hongkong, 3rd September, 1838. FR-Chatterton Wilcox, Esq., Secretary, Hongkong Chamber of Commerce. Daur Biry-I should be obliged by your Bringing the following suggestion to the noties of the Chamber, with the view, that if it concurs, of placing the matter oficially bofore the Government. The suggestion I have to offer is the construction of a Western Harbour of Refuge for email oraft. The want of such a reluge must, I think. be evident to all, but I would like to point out what appears to me to be sows.of the chief reasons.

The present refuge at Causeway Bay is far too small to accommodate anything like the number of small craft using the har-

The greater portion of it has beersne alted up that it is dry at low water and therefore available for only very shallow draft bonté

This refuge lies to windward in all bad weather experienced in the harbour and therefore can only he roached either the boats leaving on the first signs of bad weather or by being tored by Launches

by

The refuge I propose would be formed by construating a broskwater ares from Slaughter House Point of day 400 yards long. This would for a refuge of about 80 atres, or considerably larger than the one st Causeway Day.

The whole of this area is deap watek and would be available at all states of the tids for craft of tonalderable draft, the average depth being about fathonia.

The refuge would to be forward so that hot knowing they had e hoate knowing they and this refuge to make.

ships to a mach later time and often on falas alarins would not require to stop work at all, whereby much less of time in the loading and dis charging of vessels would be saved.

reach this refuge. I would be situated They would not require any towing to much nearer the bulk of the shipping than Causeway Bay,

I am confident such a refuge would ma torially assist in the work of the harbout during the typhoon sean, and also be the enn of saving many boats and perhaps liven from being lost in bad weather.

I estimate the approximate most at $100,000. Ishall be pleased to attend any maoting of tho Chanibar or to show any tombers interested the plane.--1 have the honour to ba, sir, yours faithfully.
