We advised in our letter No. 226, of 3rd instant, that two buoys were
being sent up owing to a change in the channel at the mouth of the Shatt al
Arab.
We have no information so Tar as to whether both these buoys have been
made use of, or whether the Commander of the "Megna," who is re-buoying
the bar, has been able to lift and make use of the old buoys. An attempt to
lift one of the old buoys failed.
So soon as we can obtain definite information we shall advise you. The
charts sent by this mail give the position so far as it is known to us, but do
not include the two new buoys now being laid.
We are, &c.,
Mackinnon, Mackenzie , & Co.,
P. W. Armour, Esq., Secretary, Agents.
