There is only one perceptible ebb and flow in

of our visit in April, 1858, occurred on the

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

Colonial Secretary's Office,
Auckland, 27th August, 1858.

THE Honorable the Colonial Secretary
directs the publication of the following
Notice, relative to the establishment of a Light
House on Cape Borda, the North Western ex-
tremity of Kangaroo Island.

W. GISBORNE,
Under Secretary.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

CAPE BORDA LIGHTHOUSE,
KANGAROO ISLAND.

The Master and Wardens of the Trinity
House of South Australia hereby Give Notice,
that the LIGHT on Cape Borda was first ex-
hibited on the evening of the 13th July, 1858,
and will continue to be exhibited every night
from sunset to sunrise..

Cape Berda lies in lat. 35° 45′ 20″ south,
long. 136° 38′ 0″ east, and is a bold cliffy
headland 480 feet above the sea level.

The Lighthouse is a square stone tower, and
stands thirty (30) feet from the ground, on the
summit of a small mound, about five hundred
(500) yards from the edge of the cliffs. The
total height of the Lantern is therefore five
hundred and ten (510) feet above the level of
the sea.

The Light which is on the catoptric princi-
ple, exhibits a Bright and Red Flash alternately
every half minute (½-minute), and may be seen
on an arc extending from N. 60° E. to S.
35° W. (round by west). The Bright Flash
may be seen at a distance of Thirty (30) Miles,
in clear weather; but the Red Light will not of
be visible more than than about half that
distance, therefore when the Red Light is
not distinguishable, the Bright light only will
appear at intervals of one minute.

Vessels approaching Cape Borda from the
Southwest should keep the Light well open of
the high land to the southward of the Cape, to
avoid the Reef off Cape Bedout, the western
extremity, of the Island. Vessels bound up
Investigator's Straits, after having rounded Cape
Borda, should keep the Light quite clear of the
high land to the eastward of it, on a S.W. by
W. bearing until Cape Forbin is passed, when
it may be shut in with the high land.

Vessels bound down Investigator's Straits
should not bring the light to bear to the west-
ward of S.W. by W.

The above bearings are magnetic, the varia-
tion being 5° east.

Master of the Trinity House,
