From Captain G. R. GOODFELLOW, Acting Political Agent, Kutch, to CHARLES GONNE, Esq., Secretary to Government,
Bombay, Political Department,-(No. 10, dated Bhooj, the 13th January 1874.)
I have the pleasure to report, for the information of His Excellency the Governor in Council, that His Highness the Rao has established a light-house at Mandavee.
2. The lantern which was purchased in England is fixed on a tower 127 feet 6 inches above low water mark on the south-west corner bastion of the town, and has a fixed dioptric lens apparatus to illumine 180,° and is of 6 feet 6 inches diameter, and of the 4th order, situated latitude 20° 49′ 42′′ north, and longitude 69° 23′ 8′′ east, and is visible about 18 miles. 3. I have taken the precaution to impress on His Highness the Rao the necessity that exists for satisfactory arran- gements being made to ensure the light being properly kept up, and as I am satisfied with the assurances His Highness has given me, I consequently can now confidently report its establishment, should His Excellency in Council deem it advisable to notify the same for general information.
4. I trust this reform on the part of His Highness the Rao may have the commendation of Government.
No. 114.
Copy of the above forwarded to the Colonial Secretary, Hong-Kong, for the information of His Excellency the Governor. This intimation has not been formally notified, as the Government of India cannot guarantee the maintenance of the light.
