(about 500 feet) it may be seen, in very exceptionally
clear states of the atmosphere, at a distance of nearly
thirty nautic miles.
This light is only meant to benefit vessels accus-
tomed to trade on the coast; it is not intended in
any way to encourage vessels to attempt to enter
Manukau Harbour during the night, nor is it meant
to encourage strangers to approach the port.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
SNAG IN ENTRANCE TO BULLER RIVER.
Marine Department,
Wellington, 22nd April, 1869.

SINCE publication of the Notice to Mariners with
reference to the Snag in the Fairway of the North
Channel of the Buller River, dated the 7th of the
present month, information has been received that
the channel has worked farther to the north-east, so
that the sailing directions then published are no
longer correct.

Vessels entering in daylight must keep the Flag-
staff and the Beacon carrying the red flag (which is
only hoisted at tide time) in one; and failing this,
they must be steered in close accordance with the
directions of the semaphore arm at the Flagstaff.

As the channel shifts so rapidly, no directions can
be given for entering by night; and only masters who
are so thoroughly acquainted with the port and the
local signals as to be able to take it without special
directions, would be justified in attempting it.
