Wellington, 3rd September, 1883.

THE following Notice to Mariners, received from the
President of the Marine Board, Port Adelaide, South
Australia, is published for general information.

H. A. ATKINSON.

GULF OF ST. VINCENT. - PORT ADELAIDE RIVER.

NOTICE is hereby given that deepening operations have so far
progressed in the channel leading from the sea to Port
Adelaide that, on and after the 1st August next, a depth of
not less than 18 feet at low-water spring tides will be found.

The first cutting through what is known as the inner bar
commences nearly opposite No. 10 light beacon; it is 100 feet
wide until reaching No. 9 light beacon, where a dredger is now
at work widening it to 150 feet; thence to the powder maga-
zine the width is 150 feet. At the approach to, and round the
curve at, Snapper Point the width is nearly 250 feet.

A mid-channel course from the magazine will lead into the
newly-formed cutting, commencing nearly opposite No. 2
light beacon; it is 150 feet wide until reaching what is known
as the red buoy creek. The cuttings to this point are marked
in the usual manner-viz., red buoys on the starboard hand
and black buoys on the port hand coming in. From the red
buoy creek to the South Australian Company's dock entrance
the channel is nearly 300 feet wide, having a depth of not less
than 21 feet at low water.

It is recommended that large or heavy draught ships should
not come in until the tidal signals exhibited from the Sema-
phore Station show at least 1 foot above the vessel's draught.

President, Marine Board.
