NEW MARINE NIGHT SIGNALS.
A public mewing was held on Monday last in the
Town Hall of Peterhead, of the principal inhabitants,
bankers, shipowners, and seamen, to hear a lecture
delivered by Mr. Rettin, C.E., from Lond in, inventor of
the railway and marine night signals, and on the New
tidal harbour lights, who gave one of the most lucid
and interesting accounts of the progress made and the
importance of having one uniform system of marine night
signals, and fur a more definite tidal night light, to
show seamen the true depth of water during the dark-
ness of the night.
A. Anderson, Esq., shipowner, was called to the chair,
and after a most interesting lecture from Mr. Rettin,
i t was unanimously resolved, on the motion of the
Chairman, seconded by G. Mude, Esq., of the London
Shipping Company, " That this meeting urge upon the
Harbour Trustees the importance of their immediately
adopting the new improved tidal system; and also to
urge the general adoption of the new signals of distress,
which would enable crews to escape and ofttimes get
assistance in case of shipwreck or other casualties at sea."
As to one general and uniform system of tidal
lights for all harbours, there was but one opinion; and
they did not imagine that any would say a single word
against it, and that the trustees of the Peterhead
Harbour be respectfully requested to adopt these im-
provements now at the commencement of the winter.
It was observed this morning a vessel had en-
tered the harbour at halt tide and had sustained
damage, beating on the ground, just for want of this
very use ul inrt ntion of Mr. Bettin's.
