MaijkmChannel At Wood ls. And Caribou

Workinen are busy at present driving eight piles to mark the urannel at Cnrlboo, N. S. to make it safe for the Prince Nova to dock there after dark and during dense fog. On each of the piles reflectors will be placed and the beams of the powerful search light 0n the ferry will be able to pick them up without any difficulty. Recently it was necessary to abandon the lalc crossing of the ferry as the mark- lugs already there were not ecle- quate. Captain John Dicks refused to take the responsibility for dock- ing there because he considered it unsafe aftcr dark and rlirring tog. However, it is hoped that the new markings will enable the boat to run again on this crossing. There will also be e. lighted buoy placed in the harbour at the turn of the channel. The Wood Islands slde was marked by range lights on the east side of the breakwater and it is only necessary‘ to place a reflector there now which is being done. workmen left here with a scow and pile driver to do the work. Tve C. G. s. Brant followed to assist. The work is under the Dominion De- partmeirt, of Transport. and it is expected it will be finished today.
