Marine Department,
Wellington, 18th January, 1884.

THE following Notices to Mariners, received from the Marine Boards at Launceston, Tasmania, and Port Adelaide, South Australia, are published for general information.

H. A. ATKINSON.

A NEW buoy, painted with red-and-white vertical stripes, and the letter H in black upon it, is moored about a cable’s length to the north-west of the Hebe Reef, in 8 fathoms water. The Low Head Lighthouse bears from the buoy E. ½ S., with Flinders Point S.W. by S., Badger Head being well open to the westward. When steering for the entrance to the River Tamar navigators will be careful not to go to the southward of the buoy until the leading towers upon She-oak Point are brought in line S.E. by E. ½ E., and then steer boldly in for them.

The bearings are magnetic.

Master Warden.

ENCOUNTER BAY, PORT VICTOR.

Notice is hereby given that on and after the 31st December, 1883, there will be exhibited, from sunset to sunrise, a fixed bright light at the end of the breakwater, Port Victor.

The light will be shown from a tripod, at an elevation of 26 feet above high-water level, and, in ordinary weather, should be seen on approaching from seaward when at a distance of about five miles.

Vessels from the westward should not haul up for the moorings until the light bears N.W. by N. (magnetic), so as to be certain of having passed the Seal Rock.
