10. While the breakwater is in progress it is proposed to dredge to a width of three parallel approaches to the area behind the old Causeway using the sand excavated for levelling and surfacing the slight inequalities of the beaching ground. Three openings wide to correspond with the corresponding channels will be made in the Causeway which will also be generally overhauled and repaired and its outer face of rubble masonry properly pointed.
11. Having regard to the expense of building in deep water the breakwater has been placed as much as possible in a position not to impede extraordinary currents that may be created by the S.W. or N.E. monsoon. The red arrows show the direction of the ordinary flow of the tides and the blue ones that of their ebb. Owing to the configuration of the shore, however, the currents, never very rapid on the Victoria side of the Harbour, are in the vicinity of Causeway Bay particularly slack, as to have appreciable motion either.
12. (Missing text or unclear sentence structure, but the next paragraph starts with "13. The Sugar Refinery")
13. The Sugar Refinery sea wall built a few years ago, and now forming the east side of Causeway Bay would no doubt have acted like a groin in arresting the flow and would have silted up a much larger portion.
