ALFRED GREENFIELD,
Immigration Secretary.

Provincial Secretary\'s Office, Nelson,
November 11, 1861.

HIS Honor the Superintendent
directs the publication of the following
Notice, for general information.

ALFRED DOMETT,
Provincial Secretary.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

SOUTH PACIFIC OCEAN.
REEF OFF STEWART ISLE, NEW ZEALAND

It appears from an examination of the
weather book of the ship Bruce, Thomas
Meiklejohn, Commander, in her passage from
Otago by the south of New Zealand to Cal-
cutta, in November last, when passing the
south-east extreme of South or Stewart
Island, discovered a dangerous Reef which is
not laid down in the Admiralty or any other
Charts, or noticed in the New Zealand Pilot
or Sailing Directions.

This danger, which is described as two
low rocks from 3 to 6 feet high, and close
together, on which the sea breaks heavily,
lies in the direct track of vessels closely
rounding Stewart Island in proceeding to or
from the southern settlements of New Zea-
land.

Its position, which appears to have been
determined with some accuracy, is as fol-
lows:—

7 and one-tenth miles east by north ½ north
from Owen Island off Lord\'s River; 5 and
one-tenth miles east by north ½ north from
the extreme of the Break Sea Isles; 3½ miles
east by south ⅔ south from Wreck Reef off
Port Adventure; 7½ miles south-east ⅔ east
from East Head; north of Port Adventure;

The buildings served Nelson for over a century before being demolished on 12 September 1969.
