Signal Tower on Dolphin's Nose. This building is in a state of great disrepair, and has evidently been neglected for years. It is surmounted by a Flag Staff the supporting ropes of which appeared to be rotten, and the wood work might fall at any time. The present condition of the building is certainly dangerous and it should be either repaired or pulled down.

From J. H. Taylor, Lieut. R.N.R., Master Attendant, Madras, to the Chief Secretary to Government, dated Madras, 28th April 1885, No. 3493.
