Office of Light-House Inspector, Thirteenth District Portland, Oregon 14th August, 1884

Sir, I have the honor to recommend that Cape Foulweather Light Station be furnished with a derrick, or other suitable means, for hoisting supplies from the beach on the south east side of the light house reservation to the top of the bluff, by which it is loaded. The beach which has been used for landing heavy supplies, since the station was established is a mile from the station, is shoal and rocky, and can be used only when the sea is smoothest. The beach on the reservation is

partly protected from the sea by outlying rocks, and is now used for landing supplies of light weight. I am sir, very respectfully Your obedient servant George T. Davis Inspector 13th LH District Chairman Lighthouse Board Washington DC
