then justified by the particular conditions prevailing in Hong Kong Harbour. About 1,500 feet of quay wall at Marine Lote 430 & 431 has been constructed. On the flood and ebb at Spring Tides the speed of the current is about 14 knots, and its direction more or less parallel with the line of berther. The general tend of both flood end ebb tidal currents is to sweep in a wide curve from the Lyamun Pass towards Kowloon Bay, thence round to the south of Kowloon Point and vice verse. Even supposing the currents in the vicinity of the quay wall to be doubled in velocity by the completion of the North Point Scheme, which is hardly conceivable. They would then be no stronger than the current on flood tide which runs close to Kowloon Point and where Blue Furnel steamers berth without difficulty. A Chinese pilot of beat repute, viz: the one employed by lessrs. Alfred Holt & Co. and master mariners convergent with harbour conditions have expressed the opinion that there would be no difficulty in ships berth- ing at any state of tide alongside the proposed wharfage at

North Point, as they would berth in the direction of the

tidal currents. It may be of interest to know that these

gentlemen are of the opinion that, when the two outer bertlis

are occupied, it would be a very difficult undertaking for e

ship to enter except at "slack" water the basins designed by

the Consulting Engineers at Hung Han Bay, this being due to the fact that ships would be required to turn athwart the

tidal currents across the entrance to the basins, and to

enter practically "slack" water.

As regards objection (o), in para.17 of the Consulting Engineers' report on the North Point Scheme, they state"

there would also be a risk during a typhoon or strong gales, of damages to the decking of the proposed wharves due to waves striking its underside................ On the other hand, it would be quite possible to construct
