FACTS ABOUT A GROWING COALING

STATION

#

· [Concluded from yesterday.] Even a Thames bargéman could makefSn- bang without a pilot. Within a few feet of the "shore there is deep water, and there is no bar. The average depth of both entrance and Bar- bour is about 20 fathoms. A pilot is provided by the Company tentioned above, but his as- sistance is considered necessary by most skip. per who have visited the station once. The entrance is about 2,460 ft. wide, and a Nor-

wegian timber schooner with her rudder Jam med, ought to hit that. Sabang is just as easy to make at night as by day; a white light gleams out from the, south-west side on Pule Kias, and a red one from the opposite headland. There is a clear anchorage of 1.500 metres long by 500 metres broad, and the harbour will safely accommodate between twenty and thirty battle- ships without interfering with traffic. The boltom, being a combination of sand and coral, affords excellent anchorage. In addition to the harbour proper, hidden behind the island named Klas, on which the south-westera light- house stande, is another anchorage, which may be gained. by vessels not drawing more than 22 ft an ideal snuggery for torpedo craft..

Excepting the abundant military, the present and future of Pulo Wey seems to be in the bands of the Sabang Bay Harbour and Coal Company and very excellent hands they are too. The manager is known amongst the inhabitants as the "King of the Island," and in apile of get- ting through an amount of work that would kill the 'average European id month, he is a 'genial personage whom every skipper likes

The Company are monopolists, and provide the exception to the rule that monopolists are brakes upon the wheel of progress. Company employ many Europeans, whe frequently work 10, 13 and 14 hours a day, and business is becoming so brisk that the manager is crying for more and still more
