NOTICE TO MARINERS.
Alteration of Lights.---Middle Channel, Moreton Bay.

In consequence of the changes that have taken place
in the Middle Channel, an alteration in the position
of the Lower or Yellow Patch Light will be made on
the sixteenth of April; the light on and after that
date being exhibited from a white hexagonal tower
30 feet high, placed to the northward of the present
Yellow Patch Light, and at an elevation of about 46
feet above high-water mark.

On the same date the green light will cease to be
exhibited from Comboyuro Point Lighthouse. That
light will therefore be obscured as formerly between
the red light outside the East banks, and the white
light inside the Inner Middle Channel Buoy.

On and after the sixteenth instant, therefore, the
following will be the directions to be observed by
vessels entering the port by the Middle Channel:---

By Day.---After rounding the Cape, steer as
formerly, and bring the Cape Moreton and Yellow
Patch Lighthouses and the roadway on the slope of
the Lighthouse Hill in line. Keep these objects on,
bearing about E. S., until the Inner Middle Channel
Buoy is passed, and the Ship Patch is opened out to
the westward of Cowan Cowan Point, then proceed
towards Yule Roads, keeping these marks open as
usual.

By Night.---After rounding the North Point and
sighting the red light on Comboyuro Point, steer for
it until the Lighthouse and the Yellow Patch lights
are in line. Steer about W. N., keeping the lights
in line, until the red light is obscured and again
opened out as a bright white light on a S.S.E.
bearing, when haul up and steer South, making due
allowance for tide, until the light on Cowan Cowan
is opened out, when proceed up the Bay as formerly,
the Cowan Cowan light in sight leading clear of the
western edge of the Venus Bank.

These directions will lead over the East Bank, and
to the northward of the Knoll, is not less than three
fathoms at low-water.
