THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 355

returning the Otago Harbour Regulations
forwarded in the letter from this office dated
the 28th October last, and drawing attention
to an error which appears in the "Signals at
the Flagstaff, Otago Heads," by which the
Bar is made "fit to take," whereas it should
be "not fit to take."

In reply, I have to point out to your honor
that the mistake to which you refer occurred in
the Draft Regulations forwarded in Your Honor's
letter of the 22nd July last, requesting they
might be proclaimed by His Excellency, and
that they bore on the face a note that they
had been revised by the Provincial Authorities.

In order to obviate as much as possible the
spread of this error (in my opinion a very
culpable one), I have, in addition to the steps
already taken by Your Honor, directed the pub-
lication of this correspondence and of the
"Notice to Mariners," transmitted by you in
the New Zealand Gazette.

I have, &c.,
ALFRED DOMETT.

His Honor the Superintendent,
Otago.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

IN the Harbour Regulations, published in
the Otago Provincial Government Gazette,
No. 214, dated 5th November, 1862, page 180,
eighth line, second column from the top,
"Blue with a White St. Andrew's Cross, Ebb
Tide and Bar fit to take," read "Bar NOT fit to
take." (It is probable that the same error
may have appeared in the New Zealand
General Government Gazette.)

The following are the correct Signals at
the Flagstaff, Otago Heads.

Blue Peter: Keep to sea, the Bar is not
fit to take.
Red Flag: Take the Bar, there is no
danger.
Blue, with a White St. Andrew's Cross:
Ebb tide, and Bar not fit to take.
White Flag: First quarter Flood.

The following Signals are in use at the Port.
Pilot: The Union Jack at the fore.
Customs Boat: The Union Jack at the
Peak.
Gunpowder on Board: The Union Jack
at the main.
Medical Assistance: The Union Jack
over the Ensign at the peak.
Government Emigrants on Board: Ensign
at the mizen mast head.
Mails on Board: White flag at the fore.
Boarding Officer: Blue flag at the main.
Clearing Officer: White flag at the main.
Police: The Ensign at the main.
Do. at night: Two lights vertical at the
peak, having five feet between the two.
