His Excellency the Governor has been pleased to

Officer in charge at those Islands:—

SAILING DIRECTIONS.

A bright Light will be hoisted on the flagstaff at
the Government Quarters on the second western-
most of the Lacepede Group of Islands before night-
fall, whenever a vessel which has been sighted has
not succeeded in reaching her anchorage.
Light visible throughout a radius of 9 miles, and
at an elevation of about 50 feet above high-water
level.

Vessels making the Islands from the southward
should pass them to westward of the westernmost
of the Group, giving it a wide berth to clear a reef
running out from the S.W. extremity of that Island,
due West for 2 miles. When the vessel approaching
has brought the Island to bear S.E., she can stand
towards the vessels in the roadstead still leaving the
West Island 2 miles distant on her starboard beam,
and carrying 6, 6½, and 7 fathoms all the way until
she lets go in 5 fathoms at low-water, or 7 at high-
water, ordinary tides, and from 1¼ to 1½ miles from
the shore of the Island.

the Colonial Secretary, Cape of Good Hope, is
published for general information.
J. BALLANCE.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, SOUTH COAST.

Public Works Office Cape Town,
17th July, 1877.

IT is hereby notified that a Light Tower is being
built about 200 to 300 yards within the pitch of a
low point (Seal Point), situated 1¼ miles westward
of Cape St. Francis, to be hereafter called "Cape St.
Francis Lighthouse."

The tower is a cylindrical stone structure, 91 feet
high, with Keeper's quarters attached at base, and is
situated in lat. 34° 22' 30" South, and long. 24° 50' 20"
East of Greenwich. It is intended to display a Second
Order Holophotal Revolving White Light, flashing at
intervals of twenty seconds, with focal plane 101½
feet above the base of the tower, and 118 feet above
the level of high water.

The light will be visible in clear weather about
16 sea-miles from the deck of a vessel 15 feet above
the sea. It will command the coast uninterruptedly
to the westward, but will be cut off to the eastward
by Cape St. Francis on the line N. 53° E. true, or
would not be visible from the eastward on a bearing
more southerly than S. 53° W. true.
