a distance of a hundred feet apart, in a W. by N. and
E. by S. direction.
In both cases, when the lights are in line, the bright
will be the uppermost, and the red the lowermost,
one of the two. In the day time, however, this order
of colour will be reversed, as it is intended to paint
the upper beacons red, and lower ones white.
The lower or north-eastern of the two obelisks at
present used for the leading mark in, situated on
Shepherd's Hill, will be removed, so likewise will be
the remnant of the Bull beacons on the breakwater.
The exhibition of these leading lights will not
necessitate different sailing directions to those already
published, any more than the lights and new beacons
being substituted for the obelisks and beacons which
are at present in use.
In entering the Port of Newcastle at night great
caution will be necessary, in consequence of the
strength of the tide, and due allowance will have to
be made for ebb or flow, on sighting the north channel
lights, and about to alter course from S.W. -S. with
the fairway lights in one, to W. by N., the direction
which a vessel will have to steer to keep the north
channel lights in line, to gain an anchorage in the
north harbour.
