I SUFFICIENT WHARTAGE.

The rebuilding of the Sandalen Wharf, or rather the patching up of the old wharf, has at last boon started, and is proceeding upwo. One needs, however, to be a Government official to be at all eluted over the work, for not

only is the wharf not being riot out into desper water, but in spite of the wide notoriety that Sandakan has got for lack of wharf specs it is not intended to extend il at all at this fine. As regards the luck of water at low tide here, it my not be generally known but the Sundukin and the Montang frequently take the saud at low water when they are deeply laden, as on the eve of departure for ifongkong. As to the wharfage being quite inficient, this is practically demonstrated so wry frequently, and the fact is so widely known, that there is no need to go into any details. It was hoped the new Governor wall at least do something

in this vit. lly important mater, but it does not look like it, mare's thus pity..
