THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.

Yarra on the 10th instant, leaving only 100 feet of
navigable water between it and the wharf on the
north bank.

The shallowest water in this channel is 10\frac{1}{2} feet
over a patch of rock 60 feet from the N.E. end of
the stone wharf.

In order to insure, as far as possible, the safety
of vessels navigating the river during the progress
of these works, it is requested that the regulations
approved by the Governor in Council on the 7th
instant, and published above, may be strictly
observed.

With a view of facilitating the navigation, two
semaphores will be in use on the south side of the
Yarra-Yarra, one at Cook's Ferry, and the other at
McCallum's Ferry.

When vessels are coming up the river, the arm of
the semaphore will be shown horizontally.

When vessels are proceeding down the river, the
arm of the semaphore, with a ball under it, will be
shown horizontally.

The semaphores will be painted red.

Owners and agents are requested to give notice at
the Harbour Office of the time vessels are expected
to arrive at the Melbourne Wharfs.

Chief Harbour Master.
