Some years ago 1t was resolved tO
b 10y the shoals In the sea OF Mar
nora. some of which extend to a mile
or more from the shore. An English
naval officer was lent by the English
to the Turkish government IN order to
carry out this and other measures.
He laid down the buoys and was sur.
prised to find that the Turks thought
that thereupon the whole business was
concluded. He pointed out. however.
that buoys require cure. that 1t IL
necessary to repuint them from time to
time. to pump the water out OF them
and to see that they remain duly an'
chored In their right position. To con-
vince the Turks of this took a cOnsid-
erable time: hut. being ut length con
vinced. they appointed II man espe-
cially to take charge ot the bnoys.
Some months later. however. the
English officer heard shocking relNrts
OF these buoys and many complaints
of them. and on going out to Inspect
them he found the paint worn off and
most OF the Duoys waterlogged Here
upon he wrathfully found the man in
charge and demanded an explanation
The man informed him that he had
never been supplied with boat and
had therefore never been able TO visit
the huoys since he had been in charge
