"Nor tmn the outlay of any small a

of much avail. Only teuisirary aid to
navigation can 1st nltonlcd. During
the past 11 of 20 year a great many
wiugdum have 1st-n built along the
channel; none of them have Is-en of
s-rmaiient service. Thoutt that were
constructed one year and Improved the
channel, would, pmlstbly, the very
next year Is- a serious obstruction, and
1st condemned and swore at by pilot
and river men gunerally. In some
case the current now cut right
