NOTICES TO MARINERS.

No. 21 of 1869.
Marine Department,
Wellington, 30th July, 1869.
THE following Notice to Mariners, announcing the
replacement of the Buoys in Manukau Harbour,
is reprinted from the Auckland Provincial Gazette
for general information.
JAMES M. BALFOUR,
Colonial Marine Engineer.

Harbour Department,
Manukau, 6th July, 1869.
NOTICE is hereby given, that all the Buoys connected
with the Manukau Harbour have recently been
repaired and moored in their proper places, and
Mariners are to observe that all the Buoys and
Beacons painted red are placed on the starboard side
of the channel, and the black Buoys on the port
side of the channel, inwards.

The "Tranmere" Shoal Buoy (black) is now
moored in four (4) fathoms at low water spring
tides, close to the S.E. part of the Shoal, and
Mariners are to avoid the more southern part of the
Shoal by paying attention to the pointing of the
Semaphore arms at the Signal Station, or by keeping
the South Head Beacons open (about three breadths)
southwards.

The South Head Beaconways will shortly be ex-
tended, and the Beacons adjusted to the course of
the Channel; and, when completed, due notice will
be given. The least water now found in the course
of the Southern Channel is three (3) fathoms at low-
water spring tides, deepening quickly to four (4)
and five (5) fathoms.
