But we have no desire to solve it What we wish to know is where the necessity arises for having any telegraph clerks at Gap Rock at all for 1.40 the special purpose of signalling the arrival of a few steamers per day. 125 Three Europears have been engaged to
take charge of the lighthouse. Iwo of these will always be bit the Rock while the other is relaxing himself on shore. If these men, after a few days', tuition, 0.75 could not do all the telegraphing that is required, we should have a very poor opinion of their intelligence. The Harbour Master and the Captain Super intendent of Police seem to have quite ignored the fact that the cable. 0.75 hid between the Gap Rock and Hong- kong was intended to be of eome use, and that arrangements for telegraphing from the lighthouse to the colony would have to ha mile irrespective of the signalling of abips. They seem to have 1.10 thought that the little extra telegraphic work entailed in signaling the arrival of a few vessels every day called for the establishment of a new department. Altogether about half-an-hour's work per day would be required for this particular purpose.

Is there any reason why the suggestion we have made es regards the work at the Gap Rock should not apply also to the Harbour Office? Practically the same remark may be made as regards items 3 and 4-1 clerk at Cape. d'Aguilar, $40 per month, with quarters; assistant, $20 per month, and curlers. The plain fact of the matter is that the gentlemen who drow the report showed not only an unreasonable prejudice against the sug gestions which they were called upon to consider, but the most dense ignorance in regard to the practical questiona ̈· which these suggestions raised. It is unnecessary to comment on what says be called the general objections, to the Tue aport by Capt Ramsey and scheme which are set forth in the report, (Prices Current and Ciulara way Major-General Gordon on the signalling because their aburdity is so evident that however be posted up to 10 o'clock of vessels from the Gap Rock as they could not be expected to have any if they are fed in bondios, country
