The harbor harebeen partially. 'dredged to a depth of ten feet, while the water at the immediate entrance is . 11 ft. During the progress of the work, and since its completion, the storms .ofthe lake carried atday some of the bank on the cross line, forming an opening through whichthe water• of the lake passed,: so that solve. additional protec Mon ,is rtecessary. Instructions for a rip -rap wall ona foundation ofbrush, by'whieh, the approach will be thorough- ly secured: This work is now 'being. 'carried' on, and will. be completed in '.a few weeks. The opening trade by storms oarriecisonte material in the harbor below the•cribwork, whichit will be advisable to removewhen feasible. The harbor itself, when this dredging is given to it, to the extent of its capacity .fulfils the expectation entertained; The ` water within the cribwork is quiet in all winds when thelake is stormy. Were it possible so to do, it would bee a,dvit- able to obtain an additional depth of two ft'et which would, •: tarn it into tl really safe harbor of refuge for most of the vessels navigating Lake Huron.
