"Master Mariner's" letter published in this journal on the 27th instant, drew attention to a very unsatisfactory-state of affairs. Our correspondent, after stating that with a tax of a centa a ton on all shipping entering this busy seaport there ought to be ample funds to provide lights, beacons and buoys for marking dangers In this harbour and the approaches thereto, asked-“Why should we not have a light on Kowloon Point, with a red sector over Dunmall Rocks, and a stone or pile beacon on each side of them?"
In our humble opinion the Government can show no valid reason why there should not years ago have been a light on the Dunmall Rocks and a stone or plle beacon on each side of them. The happy-go-lucky methods of the Government are regrettable from many points of view, which are too well known to need repetition at this juncture. Suffice it to say that in view of the fact that shipping is, as Mr. E. Macris TOSH once said, the life-blood of the Colony, the „failure of the Government to render the navigation of the harbour and its approaches as secure as money and trouble can possibly made them is alike as discreditable as it is wholly unjustifiable and I-becoming the greatest maritime power the world has yet known,
bered, is the commander of a steamer Our correspondent, who, be it remem-
trading out of this port, hinted that had the Dunmall Rocks been properly marked and had there been a guiding light at Point Kowloon the fine brand-new steamer On sang would, in all probability, have been navigated safely Into portinstead of coming to grief on the rocks on which the Dunmail came & copper a few years ago, and he suggested that the Channel. Rock and the recently discovered rocks in the "Ly-ec-mum Pass should also be properly- marked. We cordially agree with "Master Mariner," for we think it regrettable that it should be necessary-and it certainly is necessary in this year of grace to have to call attention to such matters." If the British flag had been flying here only about ten years there might be some excuse for a lack of proper alds to navigation, hut seeing that we have been in undisputed possession of this island for upwards of jo years the absence of the alds to navigation mentioned by our correspondent is a matter that merits the earnest and prompt consideration of all who are Interested in the shipping trade of this the third seaport of the Empire.
