been placed. A light is kept on one of the seven islands through which vessels pass, when entering or leaving the estuary.
In the past, the Side Surveyor as Harbor Master arranges the vessels on arrival there. It is proposed to put a light on Chapel Island, the seamark for ships bound to Amoy. This will also be useful to coasting vessels generally, as it will remind them of the proximity of the Meriope Shoal.
Swatow. The high land around Swatow makes the approach very easy, and the pilots know the place so well that accidents need never occur. However, the anchorage is one in which vessels always suffer severely when Typhoons rage.
Double Island. Steamers entering and leaving by night. It is proposed to put a light on Double Island for the accommodation of vessels.
Formosa. The land is high enough to do away with the necessity for lights that its rocky shores might otherwise exhibit. For the convenience of ships going into the lung... and Takow, lights will be put up at those places.
Canton. No necessity for lights has ever been known to exist at the mouth of the Pearl River. The bars are sufficiently well marked by the Pagodas and neighbouring hills, and on the three rocks between Honam and the City.
