TWO ADVANTAGES, Pulo Laut.is a small island off the coast of Dutch Borneo at its south-eastern ́extremity. A narrow strait separates it from the mainland; in some places the navigable part la approach. ing the port from the south is only about 1,500ft. in width, bat the northern approach is about a inlle wide and perfectly safe with not less than 31ft at low water. There is a lighthouse at the entrance to the strait which is visible eighteen wiles, but this light is not visible in coming in from the south ward until it bears about west by south. So much for the topographical a pects of its situation; but even more important is its commercial and strategic position. It stands at the southern entrance to the Macas sar Streito, and is right in the track of sitamers bound from Western Australia to China or Ja pan, and also from the Java porti.bound north to the same convies. The Dutch Java-Japan Line of steamers now call there regularly, and there is no doubt its situation is of first class importance.
