THE following Notices to Mariners respecting

Flinders Jetty, Western Port.
REFERRING to a Notice to Mariners dated the 18th
of May last, it is hereby notified, for the information
of masters of vessels and others trading to, or
seeking shelter in, Western Port, that a Lamp-post
has been erected on the outer end of Flinders Jetty,
and on and after this date a Light will be exhibited
therefrom between sunset and sunrise.
The light is fixed, and shows bright from N.N.E
round northerly to E. N.; it then changes to red
from E. N. to N.N.E.
The light is elevated 24 feet above high water, and
should be seen in clear weather about four miles
distant.
Vessels may anchor off the jetty in three (3)
fathoms water, and in order to avoid fouling the
submarine cable should not bring the light to bear to
the westward of W.S., and should invariably be
anchored with the light showing red.
