THE THREE KINGS.
A PROPOSED FOG SIGNAL. (Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Jan. 28. ■Referring to-day to the necessity for ft signal of some kind at tho Three Kings, where tho Efingamite and other vessel's have gone down, tlie lion. J. A. Millar, Minister for Marine, said he considered the only satisfactory tiling to do was to erect ia log signal there. He had been making a ilong inquiry into the system of submarine signalling, which has been so largely ■and so successfully adopted along the coast of America, The system was a most effective one, but could only be put into operation when vessels were equipped with the necessary telephonic apparatus to receive the signal. When this system was in -use -it was possible to receive ’a signal under water for a distance of 16 miles. Tf they could install such apparatus upon vessels trading to New 7j. • ..:nd it would be possible to introduce the system here, and in tho case of places like the Three Kings at would prove to be .invaluable.
