THE PARACELS DANGER.

To the Editor of the "Hongkong.

Telegraph."

Sir-With reference to the stranding of yet another vessel on the Paracels it seems that some-

thing ought to be done to have this danger to navigation lighted or otherwise marked.

Could you, Mr Editor, inform me to whom these reke belong, and if, as I have heard, they are public property," is it not time for some sort of international com mission to put in hand the effi- | cient marking of this constant danger to the China Sea?
