The turn in the eastern mole staging is now well pronounced. Standing on the root of the string the new work seeris to dwarf the old considerably. The check to the sliingle drift is now very plain. The storm crest of the beach Is* outside the bait of the new mole, and the fairweather crest just outside the line of the outer arm of the concrete breakwater. The rubble heap along the tramline, which was put down as a necessary protection to it at the on!>et. is now away inland, and if a crane were available might be taken up and ussd in the mole.
