21st August, 1863.

THE following notice, received from the Chief Marine Board, is published for general information.

READER GILSON WOOD.


NOTICE TO MARINERS.

Report made by Capt. Gibson, S. Ship Auckland, of a rock said to exist near Napier, Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, not laid down in the Admiralty Charts.

11th August, 1863. 7.45, weighed; 8 set on full speed and rounded Ahuriri Bluff; 8.20 a.m., ship heading S.E. by E. grazed a rock without stopping her headway, immediately stopped the engines, closed the valves in the water-tight bulkheads, and sounded each compartment; depth of water alongside, 9 fathoms; tide, three-quarters ebb; ship’s draught forward, 11ft., aft 12ft. 6ins.; compass bearing, taken immediately after striking, North-eastern extreme of Ahuriri Bluff, West; Cape Kidnappers S.E., having no deviation with the ship heading S.E. by E. I can confidently state the bearings to be correct.

8.30 a.m., finding the ship making no water, proceeded at half speed, hand lead kept constantly going, and pump wells sounded half-hourly.

By order of the Board,

CHAS. SHARP,
Chief Marine Board Office,
Wellington, 13th August, 1863.
