This morning in response to a message called again to see Mr James Miller of Banks who wished to add some information in regard to the Danes Pier. He tells me that at low water there is every evidence that the pier originally formed a complete basin of half moon outline and was connected to the shore at its S extremity also. This portion has however, owing to the storms and strength of the currents in part destroyed. At low ebb tide in spring he finds that an ordinary small fishing boat will scarely float over the barrier but that immediately in crossing it you enter water 1 to 2 fathoms in depth. There is he finds one clear break of very limted extent that affords a free passage.
