ment and terminal facilities. The coral tower may be approached only by boat of the "M" type or other boat drawing less than twelve feet. No portion of the coral tower shoal is bare at any stage of the tide, but coral heads anpar- ently project to within two fathoms of the surface in the generalarea. A steel ladder rises from two steel fender structures at the generator shack, which is apparently the route by which the tower was vcreviously aporoached. This method of approach 1s inconvenient and hazardous. Adjacent to the tower structure is a similar pile structure of steel H sections which support a generator shack, aporoximately fourteen feet by four= teen feet inside, with a wood floor. Generators have been removed. ter has corrugated iron walls and roof. The shel- The generator floor is five feet four inches above the wood floor and faces the tower, The generator building is about four feet from the edge of the tower platform. Photo Tower = Aniyaanii. The 75<foot photo tower on Aniyaanii is in gen- eral good condition, and is similar to the Coral Head tower. It has also a hand=operated skip hoist which may have caused previous difficulty. The wheels on the skip hoist are narrow and tend to jump out of the standard steel channels which are used for guides. It is believed that the skip is inade- quate and that motor operation would be more satisfactory. There are three cables extending up the tower; - one ten-conductor armored cable, two three=conductor rubber covered cables. The tower is guyed at the four corners, and is provided with a lightning arrestor. The tower is galvanized and is not painted; however, little evidence of corrosion is apparent except in some of the connections for the sheeting used in the cab at the top of the tower. The guy wires used on the tower appear to have been uncoated and were badly rusted. Also, a number of panes of glass were missing from the house at the top of the towers IIl-9
