of a beacon for a permanent light. So the north of the part, at the head of the gulf, shoals and shallows are numerous and dangerous, but it is only the careless and inefficient navigator who is likely to overrun his course so much as to get among them. The proposed beacon will be for all practical purposes, a mark for the port.
The approach to this port is said to be dangerous; a sufficient depth cannot be found off Taku bar is an inconvenience, and the land lies so low that inward-bound vessels must keep a good lookout when seeking the outer anchorage. Various marks have been erected on shore near the ports (visible from the outer anchorage) at the mouth of the river, from which the pilots are enabled to take the bearings necessary for crossing the bar. Buoys have been ordered for the bar, and a lighthouse is about to be placed between Bank's and Sha, the first place sure to be made by any vessel overrunning her course, and a light will probably be put up at Chefoo.
The land about Chefoo is so well marked, that it is so high and ordinary on the north that care is all that is required to make that port in safety. A little to the south, the formation of the land is, however, somewhat like that at Chefoo itself; and in order to avert the possibility of the recurrence of a mistake.
