TORRES STRAITS AND GREAT NORTH-EAST CHANNEL.
CAPTAIN MORESBY, R.N., has forwarded the following
alterations to the Notice respecting Torres Straits,
&c., issued from this office on the 11th instant,* viz.:--
Third paragraph.-Sibie Island was only seen from
a distance; its extent, given in a N.N.E. and S.S.W.
direction, is therefore only an approximation, the
island probably being more than four miles in length.
Last paragraph but two, second line.---For "north-
east" read "north-west."

INNER ROUTE TO TORRES STRAITS.
First paragraph, last line.---After "vessel" insert
"bound southwards."
Last paragraph.-For "Glady's River" read "Gla-
dys River."

ALTERATION IN THE CUTTING OF THE LIGHT
AT GABO ISLAND.
It having been ascertained that the present cutting
of the light on Gabo Island shows across Cape Howe
and does not guide vessels clear of the foul ground in
the immediate vicinity, masters of vessels and others
navigating that locality are informed that, on and
after the first day of July next, the bearing of the
western limit of the light will be altered from S.S.W.
to S. W. by S., so as to clear the dangers to the south-
ward and south-eastward of Cape Howe.
The light will be visible in clear weather from a
ship's deck at a distance of seventeen (17) miles on
an arc from E.N. round northerly to S.W. by S.
