were ordinary
bricks, but those manufactured for hydraulic work were impervious to
water.

NOTE.--The size of a Chinese-made brick when burnt is 10 x 5 x 1 1/2 ins.
It requires 22 Chinese-made bricks to build one cubic foot of brickwork,
but of convict-made Government bricks a cubic foot of brickwork requires
13 only.
