New Zealand, North Island, West Coast.
DIRECTIONS FOR CROSSING THE MANUKAU BAR
Bring the Nine Pin Rock on with the Inner
South Point on bearing E.N.E. (magnetic)
and steer straight for it, crossing the bar on that
line.

As soon as the bar is crossed the water
deepens to 7 or 8 fathoms and the course should
be gradually altered to E. by N. easterly till the
Nine Pin is on with the Signal Station when
haul up so as to pass clear of Paratutai.
If Parera Island is visible it will bear North
when inside the bar.

Though the above direction is correct for the
present time the signals from the Station, must
always be attended to, as the banks are said to
shift continually. Until it is buoyed the South
Channel should never be taken by a stranger.
