With regard to laying moorings o
North and South smdes of the inner for first) Tussao ■l
Islands in Port William.
Soundings would require to be taken before2 .
the length of mooring chain and class of anchor
required could be given , but I think it is safe to
estimate that 30 fathoms of chain at least would be
required for each mooring . The class of anchor would
depend on the nature of the bottom . Any moorings
which might be put down would need to be stronger
than those used in the Harbour as they would be
exposed to heavier seas and greater wear. -It might
be found possible to use old iron, i .e . fore-bars ,
etc., for an anchor »
A rough estimate of cost would be from £10 to £15
per mooring.
I would point out that the boat has frequently to be
moved round the island , owing to change of wind or
to a swell coming in with the turn of the tide.
Moorings would be required on the N, Eo S. and West
sides of the island to be of practical service. Any
vessel going down for tussac should, in my opinion,
be provided with suitable ground tackle.
Seeing that the question of the supply of
tussac for Stanley concerns my Department , I would
respectfully submit the following suggestion for
consideration, which I am of opinion would be found
3 •
to be workable.
(I) The G-ov^r. Launch to be placed at the disposal
of the Cattle Owners Associa tion/
jm-
f the C.OrAc on one day in each week for the purpose of making a trip to one of the tussac is lands in Port William; scow and necessary boats also to be provided* The day to be as convenient to the Government and according to the weather*
?) The landing , loading , and place of cutting of tussac to be decided by the Govt* Dilot(Mr A. Ratcliffe) who would accompany all trips.
*) r 4)U) The Government to receive 75 bundles of 28 lb each on each occasion, for use of Launch.
9/M. a 7^2*0W,/fe(4) Overtime incurred , due to bad weather or other cause , to be paid to the Deckhands and Engine driver of the launch by the C ,0 «A.
5^ The 0,0 .A, to arrange as to the persons (not exceeding ten) who shall go on each trip. The C ,0 .A, to be satisfied that all persons going are capable of cutting tussac.
► 6) The C.O.Ao to be responsible to see that no damage is done to the tussac islands and that there shall be no waste o
In my view it would be an advantage to the4 .
Government to receive tussac rather than cash in payment
■for licence to cut tussac ot for assistance in procuring
■tussac , especially at this time.
r5 1 do not know what the views of the C.O.A. would
be regarding the above proposals .

’ :0 i’-iTh-.
Sir,I beg to submit for His Excellency the Governor’s
information a report on the cutting of tussock on the
islands in Port William.On the 14th of July I was asked by Mr. J. H. Williams
who was acting on behalf of a number of stock owners in
Stanley, if permission could be granted to cut tussock on
the islands in Port William.At midday on Saturday the 18th instant, Mr. 'Williams
stated that there was no tussock to be had in Stanley and
that the majority of stock owners could not get sufficient
for their stock.I considered the matter to be one which called for
immediate attention.Temporary permission was granted by His Excellency
and on Monday the 20th July, 10 men representing stock
owners and myself went out on the Falkland Islands Company’s
launch ’Kelp’ to the first island and sufficient tussock
was cut to satisfy the immediate requirements of the stock.I supervised the cutting and saw that the conditions
required by His Excellency were complied with.The procuring of tussock was not carried out as
quickly as I had anticipated, a great deal of time being
wasted in the carrying and boating off. This part ofthe work seemed to me to take up too much time and labour.Although 10 men were working on the island only 5 were
employed in actual cutting operations, the remaining 5
being required for carrying to the boat.
Even /The Honourable
the Colonial Secretary,
Stanley.
* x
2 -
Even with, this number of rnen carrying, 2 or 3 of
the cutters had to cease cutting earlier to assist those
already carrying.It is my opinion that an overhead wire is what is
required for the transportation of the tussock to the
boat.There are a good many high projecting points on
both islands and these points overlook suitable places
for the boating off of tussock.By the use of an overhead wire tussock may be run
down by means of a pully and hook, a light line being
attached to the pully and paid out as the tussockThe pully and hook may be then drawn back
after the tussock has been unloaded at the boating off
place.
descends.
The carrying of tussock to the boating off place
appears to me to be the greatest difficulty with which
men procuring tussock have to contend and I believe that
if a better method of transportation than the existing
one could be introduced it would offer a little more
inducement for the licensed cutter men to go out more
often for tussock.I have suggested this method of transportation to
a few of the men interested in the procuring of tussock
and I understand that they are willing to give the
apparatus a trial.There is on both islands in port William sufficient
tussock to supply stock in Stanley for a good number of
years without the islands requiring a spell and as there
is always a great demand for tussock here during the
winter months it seems a great pity that more use is not
made of these islands and a more regular supply of
tussock obtained.The driving off of sea lions from the islands has
allowed the tussock to grow rapidly and I have noticed agreat/
- 3 -
great difference in the quantity of tussock since the
sea lions have been driven off.There are still a number of sea lions frequenting
the islands and they are causing damage to the larger
tussock bogs upon which they climb and destroy.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
Chief Inspector of Stock.

I beg to submit herewith a letter signed by Messrs
Miller , T . Hardy , E . Aldridge and John McGill , dated 10th
in respect of procuring supplies of tussac fromJ .September
i i
tie Tussac Islnads.On the 7th of September Messrs Miller and Hardy fljj
requested that they might lave the use of the "Penguin/ to ■ enable them to bring in tussac for their horses. There being ^
a shortage of tussac and permission laving previously been given
I agreed again to place the "PenguLdm" at their disposal, and,
at the same time told them to write in and explain the
position so that the natter could be placed on Jproper footing,
both with regard to permission to cut tussac and also to the
hire of the "Penguin" . Unfortunately they have not fully
explained the position , which , as far as I understand it , is
as follows(a) A license is required to cut Tussac .
pour cutter owners have taken out licenses.
(c) At present three cutter owners are on charter , leaving one to procure tudsac for the town.
when tussac does arrive it is very difficult to purchase any and the bundles are very" small .
A trip was made on the 9th inst . , when 19 men went
