It is similar to the ■one which was procured some time ago for Westport, showing a light over a considerable radius, and should prove to be of good service in guiding vessels into port at night or in enabling them to ascertain their position when remaining in the roadstead. The schooner Lizzie Guy, from Melbourne, was towed into Hokitika on Friday last by the Titan.
