In a despatch to his government dated June 23, 1861, Sir John Drummond Hay noted the fact that the Shereefian Government had already accepted the services of a French engineer to superintend the construction of a lighthouse. In the same despatch he declared, “ I warned Barzah against admitting the right of any foreign government to assume the sole control of the lighthouse. He assured me that the lighthouse would be built solely at the expense of the Moorish Government, but that the French engineer would be allowed to fix the site and form of the buildings.” Archives of the British Legation, Tangier, Foreign Office Letter Book, June 23, 1861.

At the close of the war, the commission reinstated Herr Gumpert, who retained the post till his death in 1927.
