The Starbour of Victoria of Hong Kong Road which is teeming

I visited the site
of proposed Forts in Company with the Major General Commanding and the Officer Commanding Royal Engineers, was after maturely considering the I am of opinion that there is nothing to prevent an enterprising

that, in addition to the
present proposed forts, another should be built on Kellet's Bank in order to be garrisoned at low water spring times available with heavy Armament guns. Then with lines of Torpedoes from this Fort to Green and Stone Cutters Islands, with another line of Torpedoes in the Sulphur Channel, Hong Kong Harbour would be properly defended at either
End.
