which the inclosed is a copy, from the master of the
ship Agamemnon, of Glasgow, in which he reports
having set up a signal staff at Pisco, fur the purpose of
showing when boats may or may not laud iu safety, I

(Subscribed) J. CHARLIER, Sec.
Captain G. A. Halsted, R.N., Secretary, Lloyd's.
Pisco, slay 8, 1848.
Sir,—ln consequence of many accidents happening
here by boats being upset by the surf, I have this day
erected a signal staff fifty feet high on the beach, on
which there will be hoisted one ball when boats may
land, and two black balls when boats are not safe to
land. I have got permission from the authorities to set
up this signal staff; and have left it in charge of two of
the most respectable gentlemen hero ; this being done,
I beg you will make it known, as many lives may be
saved by it. (Signed)
JOHN M`ANDY, Master of ship Agamemnon.
To the Secretary of the Humane Society, London.
