The dpth at low water ovrr the bar was only nbont thrpe tti, snd the position of tho bar channel was constantly chitting. The channel sometime al long intervals apart, broke through the north spit and ran clireetly out to sea just south of HackliHe roek, but did not remain long in Ibis position. Tiro cntianeo nt nuch times was comparatively safo, and tho channel was nt its veiy host. Tho moan rio of tldo was four and oiio-tenth feet. The results of the work already done at the mouth of tho Coquillo nro In the highest degree satisfactory, there being now a straight channel. This result Is better than that which the bnard of en gineer s 1 roped to obtain by the com pleted work.
