I now come to that class of risk which, in concurrence with Colonel Moggridge, I consider to be far more grave—that is, that of Arson. It is perfectly clear that the designs of an incendiary will not be facilitated by the construction of a Carriage road, nor hindered by the system of works such as the proposed tunnel, deep cuttings, and palisadings. For in the first case, he can most conveniently gain access to the Magazine from Queen's Road by going up along the Military road which leads from this crowded thoroughfare to the threshold of the Magazine, and which has always been quite open to the public. Likely still, he would creep unobserved down the hill side or along the edge of the nullah without the aid of any road at all. The carrying out of the road along the surface of the steep side ground will, after its south slope is cut, create a wide intervening open excavation or gap completely deburring access from the Mountain above to the edge of the cliff—which overlooks the Magazine. It is this overlooking cliff that constitutes the source of danger which we should endeavour to remove, and which is effectually removed by General Brunker's and Colonel W. Butt's proposition, but which remains untouched by Colonel Moggridge's tunnel scheme, as clearly shown in the two diagrams hereto appended. It will be seen at a glance that a body bent on blowing up the Magazine would...
