NOTICE TO MARINERS.

A Lighthouse has been erected on the Bluff, at
the south side of the entrance of Port Natal, at an
elevation of 292 feet above high water, a light from
which will be exhibited on the 23rd January, 1867.
The lighthouse is in latitude 29° 52' 50" S., and
longitude 31° 3' 35" E.
The building is an iron tower, in the form of a
frustrum of a cone, 81 feet high, painted white;
centre of light being 70 feet above the base, exhibiting
a revolving white light of the second class (dioptric),
attaining its greatest brilliancy once every minute.
It is visible in all directions from North (round
by East and South), to S. 59° W.; and can be seen
from a ship's deck 24 miles in clear weather.
The above light is not visible from the Aliwal
Shoal, which is 25 miles S., 53° W., from the light-
house; vessels should not, therefore, when coming
from the southward and westward, approach the
shore nearer than 4 miles, or shoal their water under
40 fathoms, using the lead freely until they make the
light well out from the deck, when they may stand
in until it bears N. 59° E.—which bearing will
keep them outside all known danger—until they are
abreast of the Umlazi River (about 9 miles below
the lighthouse), when they must keep it more to the
northward, as the land trends more to the eastward,
giving the shore a good berth of a mile, and when
the light bears about W.N.W., they can haul in to
the northward for the anchorage, anchoring in 8 to
10 fathoms, with the lighthouse bearing S.W. to
S.W.S., distant 1 mile.

Admiralty Surveyor.
