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

(for the Colonial Secretary.)

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

A Lighthouse has been erected on the Bluff at the
south side of the entrance of Port Natal, at an eleva-
tion of 292 feet above high water, a light from which
wlll 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, exhibit-
ing 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 9½ miles below the Light-
house), 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 E.N.E., they can haul in to the northward for
the anchorage, anchoring in 8½ to 10 fathoms, with
the Lighthouse bearing S.W. to S. W.¾ S., distant 1
mile.
