thick weather, as that light revolves only once
every minute. The light will be fifty-four
feet above the sea, and visible in clear weather
from a ship's deck thirteen miles distant.
The light-tower is forty-eight feet high, the
lower half of which will be painted black, and
the upper half white. From the light-house,
Noah's Ark bears S. 56°, W. 7-10 miles,
and the Dock-yard clock W. by N. 1.65
miles.
N.N.E. 2 E., 2 cables from the light-
house lies the Castor Rock, with only fifteen
feet on it at low-water springs; its position
is marked by a beacon, with a flag having the
word "rock" painted on it. There are pat-
ches of nineteen and twenty-four feet between
the Castor Rock and the light-house, which
renders it necessary for large ships to give the
light-house a berth of at least three and a half
cables, when passing to the N. E., before
hauling in for Simon's Bay.
In sailing for Simon's Bay, by keeping the
light-house in line with Elsey Peak, bearing
N. W., a ship will pass midway between
the Whittle Rock and Miller's Point.
