The Inspector of the 18th Light House
district has succeeded in obtaining the
order of the Light House Board at
to place certain buoys that
have been for long time needed in
these waters. The first, off the entrance
to Crescent Harbor, warns vessels OF a
dangerous rock awash at half tide mile
distant from shore, AID surrounded by
six or seven fathoms of water. The
second, frat class can buoy off south
west end OF Protection Island, shows
how far the sand spit runs from the end
of the Island. As this channel is taken
by all vessels bound in and out of Port
Discovery it is a very important mark.
In the short space of month during the
past summer, three vessels ran ashore on
this hidden danger. The red second
class nun buoy off Point Partrid ge
marks the existance of sunken rocks,
which are IN the way of vessels bound
from Puget Sound TO Rosario straits and
Bellingham Bay. Next in Importance
are the channel buoys making the
entrance to DraytoI. harbor and Semiah-
moo Bay. When all the buoys arc set

Sounds will be as we'll staked ont as any
other inland waters on he Pacific coast
For all this - dre indebted to the
