(No. 9.)-THE MARKING OF WRECKS.
THE Corporation of the Trinity House, London, has
issued the following notice :-

"It being desirable, when light-vessels or other craft
are anchored to mark the position of wrecks, that
mariners should be able to distinguish them, and to
learn on which side of them they should go, notice
is hereby given that, with these objects, wreck-
marking vessels will in future have their top-sides
coloured green, and will exhibit-

"By day: Three balls on a yard 20 feet above
the sea; two placed vertically on the side on
which navigating vessels may safely pass, and
one on the other side.

"By night: Three white fixed lights will be
shown similarly arranged, but not the ordi-
nary riding light.

"Mariners will thus know, on sighting a wreck-
marking craft, that she is so employed; and that
they should pass on that side of her on which the
two balls or two lights are shown."

The above is published for general information.
By direction of the Government of India.
