The Sandakan Water Supply has been im proved by a lank being placed near the Mosque about so feet above sea level. Its capacity is 30 tons and it can be increased to 50 tons if neces sary. The tank is connected with the wharf by a 2 inch pipe which delivers the water at about four tons per hour. The source of supply is a rock spring which during the recent draught never measured less than 7 tons per day of 24 hours and has measured up to 35 tons per day The resent object of the tank is to afford a supply to the shipping, but it is hoped that, after trial, a standard pipe for the use of the town's people may be attached.

The country is billy, and covered with heavy timber, but although water is good and generally plentiful little large game has been seen and the difficulty of getting provisions up from the Coast has greatly impeded the progress of the explorers.
