Respectfully referred to Rear Admiral W. B.
Shubrick Chairman of Light House Board.
I returned yesterday from Cape Foulweather. Where I went to locate the

Two of the vessels sailed from San Francisco August 28. and measures had been adopted that would have resulted in putting the work through in time. had it not been for a Severe Storm and trouble with the mails.
