CAPTAIN CRAIGI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that no steps have yet been taken to moor a temporary buoy off Strangford Bar, that yet another ship, the "Mehall," went ashore close to Ballyquinton Point on the 3rd instant, and that with the advent of winter the local inhabitants fear serious disaster if the Commissioners of Irish Lights do not take prompt steps; and whether he proposes to take any action in the matter.
§ MR. CHURCHILLI am informed by the Commissioners of Irish Lights that they have arranged to have the proposed temporary lighted buoy placed off Strangford Bar early this week.
