:Outside of the fort, about two hundred paces distant from il, along the sea-coast, stands a [[Pensacola Lighthouse|light house]] built of brick, about eighty feet high, in which twenty lamps in divisions of five, constantly turn upon an axis in a horizontal movement during the night. They are set in motion by clock-work, and were prepared in Roxbury, near Boston. I saw the model in the patent office at Washington. The lamps are all furnished with plated reflectors, and are fed with spermaceti oil. The land about the fort is for the most part sandy, and produces only pines naturally, these however have been rooted out, and dwarf oaks and palmettoes have since sprouted out. | :Outside of the fort, about two hundred paces distant from il, along the sea-coast, stands a [[Pensacola Lighthouse|light house]] built of brick, about eighty feet high, in which twenty lamps in divisions of five, constantly turn upon an axis in a horizontal movement during the night.
