MAURITIUS.

SAILING DIRECTIONS IN REFERENCE TO THE LIGHTHOUSE ON ISLE AUX FOUQUETS, GRAND PORT.

1. The Lighthouse is built upon a small Island called Ile aux Fouquets, in latitude 20° 24' 20" South, and longitude 57° 45' 9" East. It marks the Southern entrance to Grand Port, and is 880 yards to the E.N.E. of Ile de Passe; there is a small islet between them.

2. Ile de Passe, which bounds Grand Port entrance to the Northward, is easily known by the Battery and other Buildings thereon; there are times when rollers entirely block the Pass, although the depth is from 14 to 22 fathoms; but, generally speaking, the reefs on either hand are perfectly visible from the foreyard.

3. The island on which the Lighthouse is built is 3 miles to the Eastward of the nearest point of the mainland, and on the very edge of the Coral Reef which skirts this part of the
