We are agreed as to the necessity of establishing a Naval Coal Depot at D and consider that the sea frontage required for Military and Commissariat Stores will be best situated next to this as it will less interrupt the traffic there than elsewhere.

For the Powder Magazine the site L is well adapted as it is near a landing place, altogether concealed from the sea-harbour and protected by a proposed Military work on the height above it.

An outlay of £2 or 3,000 is required to cut down the Central mound and raise the general site sufficiently above the water level, but this will involve no additional expense as it is in any case necessary to render the neighbourhood healthy.
