"It may be as well to take advantage of this oppor-
tunity to mention that Captain Blaney considers the
present light on the Oamaru Cape a very defective
one, and that he has seen the light at the breakwater
before the light on the cape even on tolerably clear
nights, and when passing at no greater distance than
three miles.

"It does not appear from the evidence in what
amount the vessel was insured, but I have ascertained
from an official source that the insurances were as
follows: New Zealand Company, £550; National,
£450; Standard, £300: total, £1,300.

seventy-eight, at Oamaru, in the Provin-
cial District of Otago, and Colony of New
