NOTICE TO MARINERS.

Light-houses have been erected on Foul
Point and Round Island, in the entrance to
Trincomalie Harbour. The lights are of the
following description, and will be exhibited
from sunset to sunrise every night after the
1st of February, 1864:-

FOUL POINT. A flash light, showing a
brilliant flash every half minute, which is
plainly visible 17 miles in clear weather,
from a vessel's deck elevated 18 feet above
the sea; a faint light is shown between the
flashes, which is not visible beyond a distance
of 7 miles.

ROUND ISLAND.-A fixed bright light,
which is plainly visible 10 miles in clear
weather, from a vessel's deck elevated 18
feet above the sea; it shows a red light
when brought to bear between the points
W. by S. S., and S. W. S., which is not
visible beyond a distance of 6 or 7 miles.
Approaching between these bearings, the
bright light is not seen.

The following directions are for the
guidance of vessels entering the inner
harbour. Approaching from the Southward,
bring Foul Point light to bear West, distant
2 miles; then steer N. W. until Round
Island light bears W. S. W.; then steer
direct for it until the extreme point of

• Chapel Hill bear North; then steer W. by
  N. until Round Island light bears S. by
  E. E.; then steer N. by W. W., passing
  midway between Ostenberg Point and Sober
  Island, and keeping Round Island light
  bearing S. by E. E.; anchor immediately
  when the water is shoaled to † 12 fathoms.

Approaching from the Northward, when
Foul Point light is made, bring it to bear S.
by E. E., and steer direct for it until
Round Island light bears S. W. W.; then
steer direct for it until the extreme point of
Chapel Hill bears N. by E. E.; and then
follow the directions already given for
approaching from the Southward after
Chapel Hill bears North.

The Red light is intended to direct vessels
clear of the dangers off Foul Point and
Chapel Rock; therefore vessels working
into the harbour should be careful to keep
within its limits.

Province of Hawke's Bay, in the
Colony of New Zealand.

• Chapel Hill being a high bluff headland, may be
  easily distinguished in the darkest night. as when
  brought to bear N. or N. by E. E. it will be only
  14 mile distant, and will be the extreme point of
  land visible in that direction.

• The Lead should be kept going after passing
  Ostenberg Point, as the water shoals rapidly from
  25 to 12 fathoms.
