New Beacon for the Whittle Rock, False Bay.
A beacon has been erected on a large flat-topped
rock near Oatlands Point, which will, in conjunction
with the beacon that now stands on the shoulder of
the hill beneath Simon's Berg, point out the position
of the Whittle Rock. The rock on which the beacon
stands lies a few yards from the shore, and 0.85 miles
from the Shoulder Beacon. When on the Whittle
Rock the two beacons will be in a line, and also in
line with a large patch of whitewashed rocks on the
hill northward of Simon's Tower, bearing N.N.W.
3/4 W. The shoulder beacon is white, with a staff
and ball. The Oatlands Port beacon is triangular,
35 feet high, and painted white with a red band in
the centre.
The advantage of this beacon is that it points out
to ships from the westward that they are clear of the
White Rock, whilst it is kept open to the eastward
of the Shoulder Beacon. This was somewhat difficult
with the patch of whitewashed rocks behind Simon's
Town for a mark, as vessels were obliged to run far
to the eastward before the patch opened out clear of
the shoulder of Simon's Berg hill.
Vessels from the eastward will still find the white
patch of rocks serviceable for pointing out the
position of the Whittle Rock.

• Vessels entering Table Bay during the day when blowing
  hard from S.E. after passing the Mouille Point, may, with great
  advantage, anchor in 10 or 12 fathoms, where they will be in a
  good position for dropping into the inner anchorage on the fol-
  lowing morning, as the wind invariably falls light during the
  night, although the S.E. may continue to blow hard on the
  East side of the Bay. By observing this rule, more particularly
  in ships of large tonnage, a great deal of anxiety and risk in
  wearing ship, when missing stays will be avoided, and less
  casualties occur from loss of anchors and cables when endea-
  vouring to bring up on the Eastern shore.
