The flourishing condition of the colony and its enlightened views on all that affects navigation, as well as its rulers being able and of the highest engineering skill, will be a not inappropriate guide to the Chinese Government in determining upon the need for sundry lights along the Coast, and the Treasury and energy of its official staff will doubtless enable the authorities to carry out the works at various places amongst the Light houses to be first erected on Hainan.
