THE following Notice to Mariners, issued by the
Government of Mauritius, is published for
general information.

E. W. STAFFORD.

NOTICE.

On the twenty-fourth of May, 1867, the Harbour
Lights at the entrance of Port Louis, Mauritius,
will be done away with, and a Floating Light at the
Bell Buoy Anchorage will be substituted.

The Floating Light Vessel will be moored a little
to the N. Wrd. of the present well known Bell
Buoy, with the following bearings:-extreme of land
to the northward, N.E. by N.; extreme of land to
the westward, W.S.W.; flagstaff on Fort George,
S.E. ½ S.; depth of water, fifteen fathoms.

The Light Vessel will be painted white, which will
enable her to be distinctly seen against the dark
land during the day.

She will show a Flashing White Light from sunset
to sunrise, which will be visible a distance of nine
miles in every direction from seaward, from the poop
of a large vessel.

The fact of this being a Flashing Light, at short
intervals, will sufficiently distinguish it from the
Revolving Light at Flat Island, even were a mistake
possible.

Vessels from the northward, after rounding Can-
nonier Point, must be careful not to bring Cannonier
Point Light to the westward of Flat Island Light,
till the Floating Light at the Bell Buoy is seen;
they may then steer for the latter on a S.S.W. ¼ W.
bearing, and anchor on that bearing from half a mile
to a mile from the light.

Vessels approaching the port from the westward
may steer for the Floating Light on an E. by N. ½ N.
bearing, and either anchor half a mile from her on
that bearing, or further to the northward as con-
venient.

The mooring chain of the Floating Light runs
about one hundred and fifty fathoms in a N.N.W.
direction, vessels must therefore be anchored in such
a manner as to avoid hooking it.

The depths at the anchorage vary from twelve to
twenty fathoms.

All the bearings are compass bearings.
