NOTICE TO MARINERS.
Port Adelaide.

NOTICE is hereby given that the light at present
exhibited from the lightship, off the entrance of Port
Adelaide Creek, St. Vincent's Gulf, will be discon-
tinued on or about the thirty-first December next,
and a fixed bright light on a tower fifty feet above
high water level will be exhibited on the south side
of the outer bar of the creek in lieu thereof.

The new bright light will be on the catadioptric
principle, of the fourth order, and will be visible from
seaward at a distance of about fourteen miles in
clear weather.

During the prevalence of warm weather, when
much refraction often exists, the light will occa-
sionally be seen at a greater distance than above
stated.

Further notice will be given when the precise date
of the exhibition of the light can be stated, also
directions for approaching the anchorage.

B. DOUGLAS,
President of the Marine Board, South Australia.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
Wide Bay Bar.
Port Office, 27th April, 1868.

In consequence of the gradual shifting to the
northward of the channel over Wide Bay Bar, the
following changes have been made in the leading
marks for crossing the bar :-

The white beacon on Inskip Point is moved
further to the eastward, and an additional beacon,
painted black, is placed on the eastern side of Hook
Point, at the south end of Great Sandy Island.

The black and the two white beacons in line lead
over the bar in not less than three fathoms at low-
water springs.

Directions.—After passing Double Island Point,
steer N.W. by N. some five miles, as formerly,
opening out and again shutting in the entrance to
Wide Bay Harbour. Continue this course until the
additional black beacon and the two white beacons
are nearly in line, bearing about S.W. 4 W., and
cross the bar with these marks on. Immediately
the bar is crossed, haul to the southward until the
points at the entrance again open out, when a vessel
will be in deep water, and a course may be steered to
pass the red buoy on the starboard hand, as usual.

The black beacon in line with the red buoy points
out the position of the South Channel over the bar,
in which, however, the water does not exceed two
fathoms at low-water.

G. P. HEATH, Lieut. R.N.,
Portmaster.
