NOTICE TO MARINERS.

No. 54 of 1879.

Marine Department,
Wellington, 16th October, 1879.

THE following Notices to Mariners, received from
the Superintendent, Marine Survey of India,
are published for general information.

H. A. ATKINSON.

BAY OF BENGAL—COROMANDEL COAST, MADRAS.
CHANGE IN THE ANCHORAGE LIMITS OF THE
PORT.

THE Master Attendant of Madras has given notice
that, owing to the extension of the harbour works
into deep water, it has become necessary to shift the
northern and southern port buoys into 8 fathoms
of water. These buoys, which are painted half red
and half white vertically, should henceforward be
looked upon as danger buoys, and commanders of
vessels, making or leaving the anchorage, are hereby
warned not to pass in shore of either of these buoys
by day, nor to come under 8 fathoms by night,
as the rubble bases of both groins extend much
further seaward than the walls themselves, and in
some places have only 17 feet of water on them.

The middle, or large buoy, which is painted red, is
laid down in 6½ fathoms, and marks the western
limit of the anchorage for steamers.

All sailing vessels, excepting dhonies, should
anchor outside the 8-fathom line of soundings.

RED SEA—HEDJAZ—ARABIAN COAST. INTENDED
DISCONTINUANCE OF LIGHT AT EL-WEG (SHERM
WEJ-H).

THE Egyptian Government has given notice that
the quarantine station at El-Weg having been re-
moved to Tor, in the Gulf of Suez, the light exhibited
on the south side of the entrance to El-Weg Har-
bour will be discontinued on the 1st October, 1879.

BAY OF BENGAL—COAST OF ORISSA. FALSE POINT
LIGHT. INTERVAL OF BLUE LIGHT AND ROCKET
SIGNALS.

WITH reference to this department notice to Mari-
ners, No. 25, dated 19th June, 1879, on the intended
alteration in False Point light, it has now been de-
cided to exhibit the blue lights and rockets at longer
intervals than therein announced.

Notice is hereby given that, during the intended
improvements, a blue light, immediately followed by
a rocket, will be burnt from the upper part of the
lighthouse every half-hour, from sunset to sunrise,
commencing on the 1st November, 1879, and so con-
tinuing for a period of three months from that date.
Further notice, with particulars of the new light,
will be given in due course.

By direction of the Government of India.
