Vol. IV. AUCKLAND, FRIDAY, DEC. 19, 1851. No. 38.
NOTICE TO MARINERS.
Colonial Secretary’s Office,
Auckland, 13th Dec., 1851.
His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor has been pleased to direct the following communication to be published for general information.
By His Excellency’s command,
ANDREW SINCLAIR,
Colonial Secretary.
H. M. Surveying Vessel Pandora,
Auckland, 11th December, 1851.
Sir,—I hasten to report, for the interest of navigation, the existence of a dangerous Bank in the direct course of vessels bound to the west coast of this Island round Cape Maria Van Diemen, on which Her Majesty’s Surveying Vessel under my command had a favourable opportunity of anchoring and sounding.
The magnetic bearings from Cape Maria Van Diemen are from S. ½ E. to S. S. W., to outer edge 8 miles, and from Motu Pea, E. by N. ¼ N. to E. ½ S., to the outer edge 10 miles; has from 5 to 7 fathoms on it; coarse sandy bottom.
This bank covers three square miles, and has hitherto been considered only as a tide-race, but would be dangerous at most seasons from the heavy westerly swell prevailing on the west coast.
I have, &c.,
(Signed) BYRON DRURY,
Commander.
N.B.—The Island of Motu Pea (not in the existing charts) is S.E. 11 miles from Cape Maria Van Diemen, and is 2 miles from off a long sandy beach.
The Honourable
The Colonial Secretary,
Auckland.
