Lights Established: The lights at Cape Mala, Bona Island and Taboguilla Island. have been established in the positions and with the characteristics as given in Notice to Mariners, Circular No. 643-13, of April 8, 1915.
Cape Mala:-This light was out from September 8, 1915, to September 14, 1915, due to failure of burner to function properly. It is now lighted with a temporary burner of reduced capacity, but neither the characteristics nor range of visibility has been altered.
Bona Island: This light was designed for a range of visibility of 15 miles. Owing to its high altitude, reports indicate that it has been seen frequently 35 miles, and as far as 40 miles depending on atmospheric condition.
