JAFFNA BAY
Naval Vessel To Make Survey
Singapore, Aug. 29.
A survey of the Jaffna Bay and certain parts of the Palk Strait will shortly be carried out by the survey ship of His Majesty's Navy. the Endeavour, now at Colombo.
It is stated that the Endeavour will carry-out, as much work as is practicable with the time at her disposal, without affecting her own programme. She may continue the work some time later if the "Admiralty can spare her.
The conditions now existing din the Jaffna Bay have compelled shipping using that port to anchor about 13 miles off to discharge cargo and the result consider able inconvenience to all concern- ed. It is hoped in the near future to provide improved facilities after the survey has been completed.
In regard to the area in the Palk Stralt, it has been felt for, a inng time that something should be done to make it safer for shipping. Of late years a number of vessels have come to grief, the last being the B.I. Binfeld, which
ran aground off the northern coast a few weeks ago.
The Master-Attendant has in the past made strong representä- tions on the subject, pointing out the danger to shipping generally and the inconvenience at present caused to vessels using the port of Jafma.-
It is therefore gratifying to re- cord that at long last something deЛnite is to be done, The In- creasing traffic using these waters renders this work particularly valuable at the present time.
On the representations of the local Government the Admiralty have agreed to the Endeavour carrying out the survey, and it is expected that this ship will leave Colombo by the beginning September,
