B. tfieher, Minister for Marine, said' he had come to the conclusion that it was impossible to instal a light on tho western King ; tho Big King was the only solution of the difficulty. Possibly a Ijwpower. wireless plant would also bo installed there. He had cent enquiries to Australia, with a view to' ascertaining whether ii. was possible to moor a buoy with a fog signal and automatic light off tho western King. If they could do it it would be tried as an experiment. Twelve months' work was going on at the Big King meantime. •
