Can Buoys Out Of Place.

The can buoys that were once at the
mouth of Magothy River are now IN
the bay, having been carried away by
the ice last winter. one of the buoys
is half mile from its original location
and tile other is 100 yards out of the
way. The displacement of these
buoSs is a serious obstacle To naviga-
tors aud sailors are making complaint.
In their present position they fail to
indicate THE ptoper course for seamen.
A resident of St Margaret says he
doesn't know whether the authorities
are waiting for crab TO drag the
buoys back to their proper place III the
