New LIGHT IN THE BAY !-Important to Mar
liners. 1t has been determined to light up the
old lighthouse at Scituate which was abondon-
ed after the construction of the lighthouse on
Minot's Ledge. The new light will be single
red light of the first class, and cannot, there
fore be mistaken for either of the other lights
in Boston Bay. The old light at Scituate was a
double white light. We believe the relighting
of this lighthouse, will be found to be great
convenience to the mariner as it is altogether
improbable that the little lightship at Minot's
ledge will be able to hold on to her moorings
during the coming winter.
