transferring the Dioptric Apparatus and Lantern from

the Light House at Cape d'Aquilar.

This

course

would however, probably necessitate the exertion at Cape

Collinson of a

New

Tower, which should be a low

structure, so that the focal plane of the light would be

maintained at a

height not

exceeding that of the present light,

about 200 feet.

The lantern and apparatus could be so arranged

in the new structure as to admit of the existing light being

maintained at Cape d'Aquilar until the new one was ready

for exhibition.

The intensity of the light, beam from the latter

would be about 7,000 candles, and that of the N.E. Sector

about 3,000 candles.

I am,

Sir,

Chas. A. Kent.
