As the mooring chain showed sign's of wear at the point where it leaves the ground and chafes on itself by the ' rise and fall of the waves, 20ft of the chain was cut out and replaced." This chain was/ originally 1J inches in diameter in June, 1914, and it had been reduced to three-tpiarters of an inch in thickness in two years and nine months . PERSONAL Mr. J. G.
