Soundings were taken on the return trip. All the data and information at the command of the Board, Intel previously been laid before Sir John Coode, so that nothing was wanting to enable that gentleman to form a sound opinion on toe capabilities oft.hu river, and of the practicability of the proposed Harbor Works. After a thorough examination, Sir John expressed himself as very favorably impressed with Patea Hiver.
