Excerpt from A General Report Upon the Initiation and Construction of the Tunnel Under the East River, New York, to the President and Directors of the East River Gas Company It will thus be seen that to make core borings was not feasible, even allowing that such an impediment to the narrow water-way would have been permissible, and there fore it was determined to make drill soundings. The drill used consists of 2-inch diameter hollow steel rods, having a water-pressure hose attachment at the top end and a hardened steel X bit point with g-inch perforations.

In this case, how ever, where so short a time is available for a sounding, and, where the depth of water is considerable, it is desirable to use a high floating pile-driver. This arrangement was adopted, and bringing the pile-driver into each position, as nearly as possible, a little while before the turn of tide.
