MATTOX BUOYS MISSING.
Navigation in Greek Hampered by
Lack of Guides to Vessels.

Capt William Davis, master of the Po-
tomac and Chesapeake line steamer Wake
field. reports all the buoys marking the
channel into MattoX creek and in the
creek missing. The buoys were dragged
out of the creek by the ice in the past
winter. and though the buoy tenders have
made several visits to the Potomac in
the past few weeks, they have not been
replaced.
The absence of the buoys will be brought
to the attention of the lighthouse authori-
ties. Efforts are to be made to have the
lighthouse authorities place a lighted
buoy on Church point. at the entrance to
Mattox, and with this object in view a
petition is being circulated among the
steamboat and tugboat men Of the city,
asking the lighthouse authorities to es-
ia blish, the buoy. Mattox is one OF the
important tributaries Of the Potomac, and
a light buoy. at its mouth would be Of
much service to vessel masters.
