The light .was bold and distinct, and evidently at a Considerable. height above the level of tho sea; fur, had it not heetf so, it couldnot have been seen at that distance. After’ a short consultation, during -which reference was hadUo the chart uf Noi.thuroherland coalp it .was decided that this light must: be tipon Horton Point.
