North and South Bays taken from North North Saddle Light House is one of the three big lights guarding the entrance to the Yangtze River. Listed as a 24 mile light, its loom has been seen for about 40 miles. First established in 1870, it was modernized in 1916 and in 1929 a wireless radio beacon was installed. The power of the light is rated at 740,000 candle-power and it is shown from a height of 273 feet above sea level. In foggy weather a powerful compressed air fog signal is operating and can be heard fora considerable distance. (Right) The cutter "Kerr" at anchor in South Bay.
