Beacon at Drinkwater Point.
NOTICE is hereby given that the Surveying Beacon which was erected at Drinkwater Point (island of Tsungming) in 1879 and removed in March last, on account of the washing away of the south-eastern shore of the island, has now been replaced by a quadrangular, open-work structure of wood, 50, feet in height, and not painted.
