§ Mr. MILLARasked the President of the Board of Trade what steps have been taken to survey the ground on the north side of May Island, in the Firth of Forth, with a view to the erection of an additional foghorn; and when it is intended to instal the new foghorn?
§ Mr. W. R. SMITHThe Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses, who are responsible for the provision of seamarks for general navigation in Scotland, report1054W that, after careful consideration, they are not satisfied that an additional fog signal at the north end of May Island is necessary, as the proper course in fog or doubtful weather is by the south channel, using the lead and keeping outside the 20 fathom line.
