Sir: Referring to your letter of the 12th instant respecting fog-signals at sea, and inclosing a proposal for the consideration of the captains and officers in this company’s service, I have the pleasure of inclosing a written report by several of our captains and officers now in port, from which you will see that, for the most part, your proposal is approved of, while one portion only of the plan is condemned. I may add, that I quite agree with them in their remarks.

I am, &c.,

W. B. MACALISTER,
General Manager.
