ALTERATION OF LIGHT AT SEA HILL, KEPPEL BAY.

On and after this date the temporary light at Sea Hill will be replaced by a fixed dioptric light of the 5th order, showing the following sectors of red and white light, viz.: White from S.S.W. ½ W. to S. ½ E.; red from S. ½ E. to S.E. ½ E.; white from S.E. ½ E. to N.E. ¾ E.; red from N.E. ¾ E. to N.W. by N. ¼ N.

The red sector visible between a S. ½ E. and S.E. ½ E. bearing gives on its north-eastern edge a line for clearing the Central Banks, and on its south-western edge for hauling up for the anchorage under Sea Hill.

The red sector visible between a N.E. ¾ E. and N.W. by N. ¼ N. bearing gives on its north-western edge a mark for clearing the 3½-fathom line off the shoal extending from Division Point, and on its eastern edge leads up the entrance to the Narrows, vessels being clear of the west shore of Curtis Island while the red light is in sight.

The obscured sector between a S.E. ½ S. and S.E. ½ E. bearing is now done away with.

The tower from which the light is exhibited is 19ft. high, and the light, which is at an elevation of 90ft. above high water, is visible in the white sectors from a distance of fifteen miles.

G. P. HEATH, Commander, R.N.,
Portmaster.

ALTERATION IN LIGHT AT GRASSY HILL, ENDEAVOUR RIVER.

Notice is hereby given that on and after this date the temporary light on Grassy Hill will be replaced by a dioptric light of the 4th order.

The light will be visible as a fixed white light between the bearings S. ½ W. and W. by N. ½ N. nearly.

While a vessel is within the western edge of the sector she will be clear of the bar of the Endeavour River, and, consequently, in entering the port, she should get the leading red lights in line before closing in the Grassy Hill light. While within the southern edge of the sector a vessel will be clear of the Blackbird Patch and d Reef.

The tower is 20ft. in height, and the light itself stands at an elevation of 570ft.
