A proposal has been made to me to take it over; but the service

of the lighthouse is connected with the Customs station at

Fo-to-chow on the eastern entrance to the harbour. When that

station is removed there will be no launch available for its

service by the Chinese Customs, and I apprehend that it will

be necessary for this Government to take it over and maintain

it as the lighthouse at Gap Rock is maintained. In that event

the amount of light dues at present collected will probably

be insufficient.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your Most Obedient

Humble Servant,

Stuart Lockhart

GOVERNOR &c.
