To facilitate the constr. of these lt.-hs., and to carry the material and working-parties, &c., the s.s. “Afrique” will be constantly employed. The “Afrique,” which flies the French flag, will also show at the foremost-head a white pennant with the word “Afrique” in red letters, above a square flag with red and blue corners, having in the centre a red lt.-h. on a white lozenge, and the letters B.B.T. above the lt.-h. Masters of vessels passing near the “Afrique” are requested to take letters from her, for transmission to the constructors, on the usual sig. (JY) being made by the International Code. During constr. powerful lts. may be used at the lt.-h. sites for facilitating the work by night, and also on board the steamer “Afrique,” which will often lie at anchor in their vicinity. One or two black flags hoisted at the lt.-h. works will indic. that a serious accident has happened, or that there is urgent need for help. In this case the masters of vessels are requested to sig. the accident to the “Afrique,” should they afterwards encounter her, or to report it at the first tel. station they pass, or, if possible, to afford assistance themselves. The lts. at these lt.-hs. may be exper. shown before being perm. exh. Oct.
