In the center of the channel is & perfect net work of piles, on which rests the cir- cular pier 34 feet in diameter, and on this isa nicely balanced iron draw—known as the War- ren girder draw—12? feet in length and 2) feet wide, worked by a pinion on a circular rock, so nicely balanced that one man can easily it. An abutment pier. similar to the one at the north end of the draw, receives the south end of it, and with two other piers and the abutment of the causeway supports three spans of Howe truss respectively 142 feet 2i; inches, 140 feet 4 inches and i57 feet 8 inches in length. THE PILES 4 are all .well rip-rapped, with the exception of those facing the north side of the Washington channel,where 18 feet of water is left at low tide. ‘Those at the northernend of the causeway are 60 feetiong—that length being required trom the nature of the bottom—to reach a tirm foun- 4 ; butall the others are in 40 feet lengths, and were mostly furnished by Capt. Troth, of Accotink, Va. “Before they were driven they were tipped with an iron point, and the work of driving them was very tedious, five rows being required for each pier, two feet’ intervening be- tween each row. After these were driven home into a bard, gravel bottom, they were sawed olf squarely about 6 feet below low water mark—an ingenious device of Capt. Partridge. the engi- r, being used. for that purpose. This app atus consisted of @ circular saw on an upright iron shaft constructed on a flat boat, and worked a six horse power engine, and the work was dove by it with remarkable celerity and rogressed, | ease. After the tops. were made level, oak tim- | bers, 14 imehes square, were laid across them, through which heavy, iron bolts were driven into the piles, making them secure.
