NOTICE TO MARINERS.
No. 6 of 1870.
Office of the Commissioner of Customs,
(Marine Branch,)
Wellington, 5th April, 1870.

THE following Notice to Mariners, received from
the Portmaster of Brisbane, respecting further
changes in the Bar at the South Entrance, Moreton
Bay, is published for general information.

W. GISBORNE
(in the absence of the Commissioner
of Customs).

SOUTH ENTRANCE, MORETON BAY.
In consequence of further changes in the Bar at
the South Entrance, Masters of Vessels are cautioned
against crossing it with the beacons in line as
formerly. The Bar should now be taken to the
southward of the line of beacons, and with the Inner
Beacon open about five times its own width to the
southward of the Outer Beacon. A direct course
may then be steered, with the beacons in that
position, from the outer edge of the Bar until the
North Break is passed, when a course should be
shaped so as to cross the line of beacons before
reaching the South Break.

By following these directions a vessel will cross
the Bar in not less than thirteen feet at low water
springs.

Though the channel across the Bar has consider-
ably improved, and has regained much of its original
character, it cannot yet be considered permanent,
but must still be used with due caution, and only in
fine weather.

G. P. HEATH, Commander R.N.,
Department of Ports and Harbours,
28th February, 1870.
Portmaster.
