only a partial improvement, the project can in no way be said to interfere with the efficient working of the Yard. But no scheme can solely be regarded as a beneficial improvement, the leading feature of which is the restoration to the Naval Yard of the former connection with the sea, and promises to set aside the futile combination of Naval method of dragging stones, Machinery, Spars, Timber, etc. by hand over the ground after they have been landed from the Harbor at high water, and to substitute a cheap and easy water transport, enabling the same material to be floated up to the Yard at any time of tide.

As it has been evident that the Admiralty will have to deal in some way or another with the foregoing, and as from the professional evidence before us, the formation of a quay and basins is in the opinion of my Colleague, and of Vice Admiral Ryder the only way of meeting the present difficulty and of avoiding its recurrence in the immediate future.
