who are to be carefully instructed in
the .use of this light and the govern-
ment signal code. could be called into

them by means of the ordinary signal
flags in daylight. .The hellogmph.
which has been tried with great suc- ..
cuss on land..could not he used on wn»
ier successfully, owing to the fact that
the flashes could not be so easily dis-
cerned. ‘ .
When the idea has been put into suc-
coaaiul operation it will be possible to
send a message by use of those sig-
nals in a very brief. time from New
York to Moutault Point light. which is
located at the very extreme and oi
bong island. in Its Journey the mes-
sage would travel from one lighthouse
to another. being transmitted with
scarcely any delay. Coming into the
sound after reaching the light oil
Lloyd's Point the manage would be alg-
nalled to the Naval Milltlamen eta-l
tloned in the lighthouse at Eaton's
Point. iroln there it would be sent to
the Old Field Point lighthouse opera-
tor who in turn would transmit it to
the Middle Ground lighthouse. strut-
l‘ord.
From this point the message could
anally be sent to the Old lighthouse on
the east side oi the entrance oi the
New Haven harbor. He would immedv
lately signal Faulkner’s Island light.
from which place the pressure would
be repeated to Cornfield Reel lightehlp
stationed oil Saybroolr. The next sta-
tlon reached would be the lighthouse
at the mouth oi the Connecticut river.
The message then would be sent to
New laomlou and from there to the
lighthouse oll' (treat Guli Island. The
next relay would take the rllsmrtch to
Middle Ground light. which is located
well intoliioclt island sound.
From there two more transmissions
would be necessary before the message
would reach its final destination at
liontsuk Point.
The value oi this idea would be up
preciatcd in time oi. war should the
onomy pnccoed in penetrating the tele~
graph service on Long island. or along
the southern coast oi Connecticut. It
would also be valuable in keeping a
watch on the movemwts oi the enemy

a war vessel into the sound.
