INDIA-WEST COAST-GULF OF CUTCH.
Fixed Light at Entrance to Toona Creek,
Information has been received from the Political Agent at Cutch Mandvee that a light was exhibited on the 5th September 1878 from a light-house recently erected on the swampy land south of Tekra island, as a guide to vessels making for Toona, north shore of the Gulf of Cutch.
The light is a fixed white light, shown from an ordinary lantern elevated 17 feet above high water, and should be visible in clear weather from a distance of 6 miles.
The light tower-which is built of stone, and 23 feet high-stands on the eastern edge of a low mangrove swamp about three-quarters of a mile south of Tekra island, Toona creek. At high tides this swamp is overflowed, which gives the light-house the appearance of being built in the water.
