LEADING LIGHTS, RIVER TAMAR.

NOTICE is hereby given that, on and after the 1st
December, 1882, two leading lights will be exhibited
at She-oak Point, entrance to River Tamar. The
lights are 1,197 feet apart, and elevated 55 and 38
feet respectively above the level of high water. They
will be visible nine miles from a ship's deck-the
high light being visible between the bearings of S.E.
E. round easterly to N.N.W., and the low from
S.E. E. round easterly to N. W.

The following sailing directions by Staff Com-
mander H. J. Stanley, R.N., are published for
general information.

Acting Master Warden.

Marine Board,
Hobart, 25th September, 1882.

SAILING DIRECTIONS FOR ENTERING TAMAR HEADS
BY NIGHT.

From the Eastward and Northward. ----When within
three miles of the Low Head, the same bearing about
south, steer south-westerly, and when the leading
lights become visible, which will be on a S.E. E.
bearing, a southerly course may be shaped, care
being taken not to bring the Low Head Light to
bear to the eastward of E. by S. until the leading
lights are in line S.E. by E. E., when steer boldly
in, passing the buoy on the Shear Rock close to.

From the Westward. - After sighting the Low
Head Light, do not bring it to bear east of E. by S.
until the leading lights have been sighted and brought
to bear S.E. by E. E., when they will be in line,
and may be run for as directed above.

Proceeding up the River.-If proceeding up the
river, after passing the Shear Buoy bring the leading
lights one and a half points on the port bow, and look
out for the white buoys and Simmons's Mistake
beacon. The course from Simmons's Mistake to the
Bombay Rock is S. by E., and so long as the low

leading light is in sight the vessel is outside of the
buoy on this shoal. Having passed the Bombay Rock
haul to the S.E., when the low leading light will be lost
sight of, and round Garden Island close to. Do not
lose sight of the high leading light, its loss being a
sign that you are nearing the Garrow Rock off George
Town.

Proceeding Outwards. -Round Garden Island close
to, and without losing sight of the high leading light
haul to the north-westward. When the low leading
light becomes visible on a N. W. bearing steer for
it, keeping a good look-out for the Bombay Rock
buoy and Simmons's Mistake beacon; having passed
the latter steer for the Low Head Light, and when
the leading lights are in line S.E by E. E. keep
them so until the entrance is passed, and shape course
as required. If neither the black buoy on the Middle
Bank nor the white buoy on the Yellow Rock is
visible the entrance may be known to be passed
when the Low Head Light bears E. by N. N. or is
four points abaft the beam.

Vessels bringing up in Port Dalrymple must have
both leading lights in sight; the loss of the low lead-
ing light on a S.E. E. bearing will indicate prox-
imity to the bank off Cordell Point. The anchorage
ground is about one cable inside the line of the lead-
ing lights in about 8 fathoms of water, the high light
being open to eastward of the low one.

The best guide to the anchorage is the lead.

The leading line leads vessels close to the buoy off
the Shear Reef in 24 feet at low water, and in the
same depth at the tail of the reef off the Barrel Rock.

The old towers in Lagoon Bay have been blackened:
the leading-light towers now answer the purpose of
day-marks.

Staff Commander, R.N.

NORTH COAST, CLARENCE STRAIT. - VERNON ISLANDS.

NOTICE is hereby given that large iron cheese-shaped
buoys, having pyramidal open framework sur-
mounted by balls, have replaced those which for-
merly marked the usual passage between the Vernon
Islands. The black one, off the north-west end of
the Henry Ellis Reef, is moored in 17 fathoms of
water; the red one marks the end of the spit run-
ning to the westward, off the south-west end of East
Vernon Island.

The buoys are about two miles and a quarter
apart.

A mid-channel course is recommended when passing
through either to the eastward or the westward.
