In this location, an allusion to Edward Fitzball was made.

Edward Fitzball (1792-1873) was an English playwright who specialized in melodrama. Two of his works were "Floating Beacon" and "Pilot."

The only allusion made in this location was a reference to Fitzball, who was particularly talented at writing nautical dramas. Perhaps Joyce thought of this location in a dramatic, literary sense and in a seafaring way.
