The pipe was got into place successfully, but the endeavour to complete it by building the masonry ends outside the banks was for a long time abortive, on account of the high level water in the canal close alongside and the moving sand b...elow. Eventually a masonry well was sunk as near the end of the pipe as possible (Fig. 51), but there remained an interval of 6 to 8 inches between the two. The pipe end was closed by a wooden door and tarred canvas, kept pressed against the pipe by wedges driven by divers between door and well.

Rubble was then deposited at the bottom of the crater up to a METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION.
