Rajbaul, Nov. 23.

THE Administration recently completed the erection of an “unwatched” light on Nussing Island, in the vicinity of Cape Crettin, near Finschhafen. It is actuated by acetylene and gas, and the action of the sun valve, and gives out a quick flash once every ten seconds. The light has a visibility of ten miles.

Another similar light will shortly be erected at Cape St. George, the most southerly point on the coast of New Ire land.
