able for the construction of a lighthouse
there, but the engineers in the govern
ment's service have not been able to de-
wise any structure that would withstand
the high winds and the shifting sands of
the shoal. One trial at the building of a
lighthouse on the shoal was tried some
years ago. and the contractors lost their
plant by storm and gave up the under
taking. 1t is now proposed that $50 ooo
