NOTICE TO MARINERS.

Temporary Lighthouse on Point Lonsdale.

Colonial Secretary's Office,
Auckland, 10th March, 1863.

THE following Notice to Mariners res-
pecting a Temporary Lighthouse on
Point Lonsdale, Port Phillip, is published for
general information.

READER WOOD,
In the absence of Mr. Domett.

Masters of vessels and others navigating the
entrance of Port Phillip are hereby informed
that in order to warn vessels of their approach
to the recently discovered dangers (notice of
which appeared in the Gazette of the 22nd
of December, 1862, No. 148) and the Point
Lonsdale Rock, at the entrance to Port Philip,
a temporary fixed harbor light will, on and
after the evening of the 19th instant, be ex-
hibited from a site close to the tidal flagstaff on
Point Lonsdale.

This light will be colored green to seaward,
and red towards the harbor and Point Nepean.

Vessels inward or outward bound, when they
have the green light full in view, will be out-
side of these dangers, and when they have the
red light full in view, they will be inside of
these dangers. The blending of the two colors
when seen from a vessel will indicate that she
is in the vicinity of these dangers.

The Point Lonsdale Light will only illumi-
nate an arc of about fifty degrees of the horizon,
and be visible, the green light at a distance of
about four miles, the red light about seven
miles, within the following bearings :-

Green light, from about N.W. ½ W. to N.
W. by N.

Red light, from about W. ½ N. to N.W. ½
W.

The bearings are magnetic, and are given
from the ship, not from the lights.
