The Emma Shoal Buoy has been removed, and will not be replaced. The North Shore Beacons in line clear the East End of Emma Shoal a full cable’s length.
Notice is also given, that in future there will be no Buoy at the Treachery Shoal.
Matilda Rock, a cone Buoy, painted red, has recently been moored in 10 fathoms, at low water, distance from high water mark (at foot of sand hill) 2 cables, with the signal mast on South Head, bearing S.E. by compass. The Buoy is placed near midway between the rock and a shallow patch of foul ground abreast of Poroporo, and Mariners are hereby cautioned not to pass between the Matilda Rock Buoy and the South Head shore.
Mariners are further directed when proceeding to sea by the South Channel, on an ebb-tide, to keep the Southern Shore aboard, which will guide them in the true set of tide.
