Government have given directions for the 
application of a part of Hawl-Bowling Ilana, 
Cork, to naval purpofes’ Several acres of the 
ifland are appropriated to the crection of navel 
ftore-houfes, and the work will be {peedily 
undertaken ‘This projeét, which will afford 
fuch facilities of repair to. his Majefty’s thips 
upon this ftation, or fuch as may by adverfe 
weather or other circumftances be driven inte 
this harbour, originated with Admiral Lord 
Gardner, and will be completed principally, 
or perhaps altogether, by his dire€tion. The 
undertaking is of infinite utility: it fecures 
king’s fhips from the cafwalties incident to a 
voyage in a difabled ftate to Plymouth - or 
Portfmouth, of from a dependence on the 
naval depot at Kinfale, whence a’ fhip in 
blowing or ftormy weather could derive little 
afliftance, as the ab of fupplying her was 
deeratly: effected by fail boats. The eftablith- 
ment of a naval {tore in ae Bowling Iflamd, 
will always, under any circumftances,. or die 
advantages of weather, infure tpeedy and ef- 
ficent aid to his Majefty’s thips. ‘The depth 
of water will permit fiips to approach to 
within a very fhort diltance of the ifland, 
where they can lie in perte& fecurity. °
