NOTICE TO MARINERS.

Colonial Secretary's Office,
Auckland, 15th October, 1860.

THE following notice respecting the exhibi-
tion of a Light at the new Light House,
near Jervis' Bay, is published for general
information.

E. W. STAFFORD.

NEW SOUTH WALES.
EAST COAST ON AUSTRALIA—LIGHT HOUSE NEAR
JERVIS' BAY.

The bearings given are magnetic, the
distances are in nautical miles, and the
variation is 10° 15' E.

A white stone tower has been erected on a
prominent headland, situated 2½ miles south of
the southern bluff (Bowen Island) of Jervis'
Bay, and 2 miles north of the projection known
as Cape St. George, on the coast of New
South Wales, from which a light will be
exhibited on and after the 1st of October next.

The Tower is 61 feet high, and the centre
of the Light will be 224 feet above high water
level, and will be visible in all directions of the
horizon from north 27° E., round by the
eastward to south 0° 40' W.

It will also be visible 19° 52' further to the
westward over a sloping hill, situated to the
southward of the Light House, but only when
at a considerable distance to the southward of
the same.

The Light is on the Catoptric principle of
the 3rd class, and revolving, exhibiting at
intervals of 30 seconds a red, green, and white
light alternately.

The intensity of the white light is visible
from an elevation of 16 feet, in clear weather,
at a distance of 20 miles, while its green and
red rays vanish at a distance of 15 miles.

The Latitude is 35° 9' 15" S., and
The Longitude 150° 47' 48" E.

Vessels coming from the south will open this
light over the sloping hill to the southward of
it, on a bearing of north 20° 32' E.; caution
must, however, be observed in approaching
Cape St. George (a low, dangerous, rocky
point, on which the sea breaks), and when
within a distance of 8 miles, or thereabouts, the
light should not be brought to bear to the
northward of north 10° W., as, when a vessel is
near the land, to the south-westward of this
bearing, it will be partially, if not wholly,
obscured, but by standing to the eastward, it
will gradually open out, and when bearing
north 25° W., or N.N.W. ¼ W., it may be
passed with safety at a distance of from one to
two miles.

Vessels from the southward should always
endeavour to make this Light, so as to prevent
being embayed in the deep indentation lying
to the westward of the Cape designated
"Wreck Bay."

Vessels approaching from the northward will
open this Light clear of the "Crocodile Head,"
on a bearing of south 27° west, and by
keeping it in view may pass in safety to the
south, at an offing of from one to two miles.

Vessels entering Jervis' Bay (a good and
safe anchorage in all winds) will shut the Light
in with the north end of "Bowen Island," on a
bearing of south ¾ W.
