NOTICE TO MARINERS.

THE following Notice to Mariners, announcing the
exhibition of a Harbour Light at Napier, pre-

Engineer, is published for general information.

HENRY SEWELL.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

PORT AHURIRI HARBOUR LIGHT.
This Light shows Red on the Pania Rock.
ON and after the 1st day of July, 1871, a fixed Red
and White Light will be exhibited from a mast on
the western extremity of the Eastern Spit, Port
Ahuriri, and will be seen on the following bearings
from seaward:---

Red: from S.E. by S. to S. by E.E.
White: from S. by E.E. to S.W. by S.AS.
Red: from S.W.by S. S. to S.W.S.

The light will be about 27 feet above high water,
and should be visible, in clear weather, about 9
nautical miles, allowing 10 feet for the height of the
observer's eye.

The Pania Rock is in the centre of the south-
western red light, which will be seen one quarter of
a mile (nautical) on each side of the rock. Vessels
approaching from the Northward should keep in the
white light.

Masters of vessels coming from the Southward will
find this light no guide for them, and must use all
precautions as heretofore to avoid the rocky patch
called the Auckland Rock, which has only 14 feet on
some portions of it at low water springs. This patch
extends at least one cable to the Southward of the
black buoy which is moored off the northern edge of
the patch, and which lies in 5 fathoms at low water
springs.

All bearings are magnetic.
