But pending any sneh nogotiation, the iso of which weld of course be vnesetnia, the Governor counders that there abonld be zo delay of the work at the Gap Rook, if the range. mant respecting it shoull meet with the approval of the Council and ruscire the ratation of the Secretary of State,

For this reason the proposal recently made (with a view to are tips in constamelica) for placing a flashing Light at Waglan and a fixel Light at the Gap, will require to be abandoned: and it is deemed to be on the whole expedient to revert to the original pist of a fashing Light

Returning to the question as to the character of its Light at the Gap Rock, I am the mention thut His Excellency has not omitted from con sideration the greater penetrative power of a flashing light.

of vessels dimatly attributable to the absence of Lights.

The cost which would have been saved to the shipping trade, if a Light at the Gap Bock bec been provided at the time when the subject was fest, mooted would now amount to a sam which Guald probably be only arpressed in handreds oi thousands of Pounds; and the Governor traals therefore he has reason in congratulating the Council and the Colony that a whal of such very great importance is at length to be applied.

Lousa on Waglan, the Inspector-General feels that he osunot treat it at the Tangli Tamén se ha did the Gap Rook proposals. The Inspector-General's moaning evidently is that, as he does not consider the proposal garding a light on Waglan can be just now coessfully laid before the Teang-li Yemen, he desires that the arrangement as to the Gop Rock light may he carried out, but he thinks that all responsibility as to the nature of that. light must now rest with your Government He is of opinion, however, that a flashing light would be preferable to a fired one in such a position as that of the Gap Rock.

MINUTE BY STEVEYOR GENERAL,

In view of these opinions I would advise that His Excellency sanction the construction of a flashing Hykt at the Gap Rock, and that the Government proceed forthwith to the coastric tion of such a light, and that the question of the transfer of Capo D'Aguilar light to Waglan stand over for future consideration.
