Throughout June, the "Mary Angus" advanced toward the beach area. The dredge occasionally reached bedrock at depths of only 13 to 15 feet. Fair recoveries were made in limited areas where bedrock formed pockets, some of which were 40 feet deep. The "Anne Petronella" operated at the foot of the Paracale hill opposite the seawall until the 10th of June, thence moving to a position northeast of the Paracale Lighthouse. Satisfactory yardage was made, but recovery was not above average due to irregularly distributed values in the area. Weather conditions during the month were satisfactory.
