By this time the wind had so increased that the rising sea made it necessary to stop work, but early next morning the rest of the re- serve stone was put into the compartments. After the pier was in position, a schooner was moored on the reef, to serve as temporary quarters for the workmen, who proceeded at once to build up the pier to the required height, twelve feet above water. More stone was brought, and by the 1 2th of ...September the pier reached its fuU height, and, by the 20th, quarters for the workmen were built upon it, when the schooner was discharged. A diver was then employed to clear off the bed-rock within the opening of the pier, and the coffei^dam was commenced. This coffer-dam consisted of a hollow cyhnder, forty-one feet in diameter, composed of wooden staves, each four by six inches, and fifteen feet long ; it was braced and trussed internally, and hooped with iron externally to give it the requisite strength.
