NOTICE TO MARINERS.

NEW ZEALAND NORTH ISLAND.

Fixed Light on Tiri Tiri Matangi Island, Hauraki Gulf.

The Colonial Government at New Zealand has
given Notice, that on and after the 1st day of
January 1865, a light would be exhibited from a
lighthouse recently erected on Tiri Tiri Matangi
Island, Hauraki gulf, North Island, New Zealand.

The light is a fixed white light, at an elevation
of 300 feet above the level of high water, and in
clear weather should be seen from a distance of
23 miles.

The illuminating apparatus is dioptric or by
lenses, of the second order.

The tower is of iron, 48 feet high, of a light
red colour, and stands in lat. 36 degrees 36
minutes 30 seconds S., long. 174 degrees 55 minutes
15 seconds East of Greenwich.

Buoy on Shearer Rock.

Also, that a red buoy has been placed in 14
fathoms water, N.N.E. of, and close to the
Shearer rock, with the lighthouse bearing W.S.W.,
distant about one mile; the north extreme of
Tiri Tiri W. by N.; and its south extreme
S.W. by W.

Ahuriri Roads.

A white conical buoy lies in 9 fathoms water,
at about a cable S. by W. from the Pania reef,
with the Bluff bearing S.S.W. nearly, distant 2
miles. The average depth on the reef is 12 feet,
but there are several rocky ledges with only 7 and
8 feet water on them.

A temporary black buoy is placed in 4½ fathoms
water, at about 20 feet north of the Auckland
rock, to be shortly replaced by a white buoy.
This rock appears to lie near the southern part of
the shoal marked on the chart, and from it the
Bluff bears S. by E.; west point of the Bluff
S.W. by S.; and Cape Kidnappers S.E. ¼ E.

A mooring buoy lies in 6 fathoms water, in the
south-west part of the roads, W.N.W. from the
Bluff and at about a mile from the shore. The
moorings are placed in the best holding ground,
and sufficiently strong for a vessel of 1000 tons.

All Bearings are Magnetic. Variation 14 degrees 25 minutes East in 1865.
