It would be useless in a fog. while in clear weather the Kings were so high that tney were plainly discernible- and did not constitute a danger like low-lying rocks. He considered only one course of action ouon, which was to establish a fog-s : gnalling apparatus and reon ire" vessels to be fitted with receivers. The Department was now -negotiating with the International Signalling Company. .
