HENRY JOHN TANCRED,
For the Colonial Secretary.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

COAST AND HARBOUR LIGHTS, VICTORIA.

Melbourne, 28th May, 1859.

Department of Ports and Harbours,
Williamstown, 28th May, 1859.

Seven new Lighthouses on the Coast of
Victoria.

In accordance with a Notice to Mariners is-
sued from this office on the 7th of May, 1858,
masters of vessels and others navigating the
coast and harbours of Victoria, are hereby in-
formed that on and after the dates herein spe-
cified, lights will be exhibited from the under-
mentioned new Lighthouses.

(1.) Cape Schanck.

The approximate position of the Cape
Schanck Lighthouse is in latitude 38° 30' S.,
longitude 144° 54' E.; it stands upon
the highest part of that Cape about half a mile
N.N.W. of the Pulpit Rock.

The light will be a catadioptric, first class,
fixed and flashing white light, showing a bright
flash every two minutes.

The light at a distance of eight (8) miles
and upwards, according to the state of the at-
mosphere will appear as a steady light for the
space of one minute, be suddenly eclipsed for
twenty-five seconds, then exhibit a bright flash
for about ten seconds, and be again eclipsed for
twenty-five seconds, when the steady light will
re-appear.

When a vessel is within about six (6) miles
from the light, the eclipses will be scarcely ob-
servable, a continued faint light being at that
distance, in clear weather, visible between the
intervals of the bright flashes.

The light will be three hundred and twenty-
eight (328) feet above the mean level of the
sea, and be visible to seaward from E. 1 S.
round southerly to N.W. W. at the distance
of twenty-three (23) nautic miles, allowing ten
feet for the height of the eye, and at lesser dis-
tances according to the state of the atmosphere.

The lighthouse tower it circular, built of
stone, and painted red.

Mariners are reminded that the reef to the
southward of the Pulpit Rock lies S.S.E. about
seven (7) cables length from the site of the
lighthouse, vessels in passing the light must
therefore give it a wide berth.

The Cape Schanck light will be exhibited on
the evening of the 30th day of June, 1859,
and every night thereafter from sunset to sun-
rise.
