cruiser “Volage” anchored in 14 fathoms of water with the
flagstaff of the house bearing W. (S. 69° 40′ W. magnetic) and
Cape Gregory bearing S. 31° W. (S. 10° 40′ W. magnetic).
Bearings true. Variation, 20° 20′ easterly in 1884.
VOLAGE BAY.—Description.—Just to the eastward of the
Abra de Sarmiento, on the south coast of Long Reach, there
is to be seen a deep bay, which appears to be perfectly
sheltered. The sides of the high mountains which surround
it are vertical, which would indicate that the shore is steep-
to and the entrance safe. At the head of this bay there is a
valley through which runs a watercourse.
The “Volage” anchored in this bay in 13½ fathoms, mid-
way between the two shores. This bay, Volage Bay, is con-
tinued by a small harbour, with which it communicates by a
narrow channel, and where small vessels may find excellent
shelter. A cascade falls into the harbour near its head,
which comes from a small shallow lake into which several
watercourses empty.
By order of the Bureau of Navigation.

Lights for Fishing Vessels and Boats.

Art. 9. Open fishing boats and other open boats shall not
be required to carry the side lights required for other vessels,
but shall, if they do not carry such lights, carry a lantern
having a green slide on the one side and a red slide on the
other side; and on the approach of or to other vessels such
lantern shall be exhibited in sufficient time to prevent
collision, so that the green light shall not be seen on the
port side, nor the red light on the starboard side.
Fishing vessels and open boats when at anchor, or attached
to their nets and stationary, shall exhibit a bright white
light.
Fishing vessels and open boats shall, however, not be
prevented from using a flare-up, in addition, if considered
expedient.
