NOTICE TO MARINERS.

A knoll of hard sand has formed nearly in the centre of the Western channel, opposite the “Swan Ponds.” A Buoy chequered RED and WHITE will be placed upon it: a small Black buoy temporarily marks its position. The bearings of the sand are,

Extreme end of Indented Head.. N. ¾ West.
Light House, Shortland Bluff.. S. W. ¼ W.
White house on the hill to the Eastward of McDonald’s, on Point Nepean, exactly midway between the white buoy No 4, and a large limekiln.

The knoll is nearly conical in shape and not more than six feet across at the top. At low water and easterly weather there is scant twelve (12) feet water over the sand, with from nineteen (19) to twenty one (21) feet within an oar’s length on all sides. Vessels running or working through the channel have plenty of room and deep water on either side of the buoy.
