ROCK OFF DOG ISLAND. Si The. rock supposed to exist near the Dog Island lighthouse, and which was recently marked on the Admiralty charts,’ was referred to by Mr W. B. Dixon, Bluff, on Tuesday, who said that, although the matter had been mentioned to the Hon. G. J. Anderson, Minister for Marine, during his visit, the Minister had maintained a discreet silence when giving his statement to the Press. • The Gazette notice stated that it was on a report from Captain 11. Davies, of the Kaiapoi, that the rock was charted. Mr Dixon states that Captain Davies received his (Captain Davies’s) information from another. Captain Davies’s informant had been taken down and asked to locate the rock, bnt bad failed to do so. Mr Dixon was confident that the rock, as charted, did not exist, and he was prepared to provide a vessel to search for it. If the rock was located, then he would pay for the hire of the vessel and any labor employed, but if the Marino ‘Department failed to locate the rock, thou the department should pay expenses. “It is important that this rock mystery should be cleared up," concluded Mr Dixon, “ns it is making a vast difference to shipping entering the Strait.”
