Notice to Mariners, No. 1 of 1889.

Marine Department,
Wellington, 2nd January, 1889.

THE following Notices to Mariners, received from the
Marine Board, Port Adelaide, South Australia, are
published for general information.

GEO. FISHER,
(For the Minister having charge of the
Marine Department.)

PORT ADELAIDE SEMAPHORE ANCHORAGE. - LEADING LIGHTS.

REFERRING to Notice No. 12 of 1888, as to the removal of
the "Beatrice," mariners are now hereby informed that, on
and after the 1st December, 1888, two red lights will be
exhibited ashore, one from the time-ball tower and the other
from the flagstaff at the shore end of Semaphore Jetty.
These lights in line, bearing S.E. S., lead through the
deepest water in the semaphore anchorage and up to the
ocean-steamers' mooring buoy.

Directions.

By Night: Vessels approaching the anchorage should not
bring the Port Adelaide light to the north of N.E. until the
above lights are in line, then steer in on that line with the
lead going until the requisite water is found or the mooring
buoy is picked up. When the red light east of the lighthouse
is just closing with the bright light on No. 11 beacon the
vessel will be close to the mooring buoy.

The leading lights will not show south of the bell buoy on
the Wonga Shoal, so that vessels of suitable draught, which
do not intend to use the mooring buoy, may steer in for any
part of the anchorage as soon as the two red lights are
visible.

By Day: Keep the lighthouse on the same bearing until
the time-ball tower and the water tower are in line, then
proceed as above.

Masters and pilots making vessels fast to the mooring buoy
are requested to pay out from ten to fifteen fathoms cable to
enable vessels to ride easier and to prevent damage to the
moorings.

By direction.
THOS. N. STEPHENS,
Secretary, Marine Board.

island lying between South West Island and Centre Island
(local name, Mangrove Island), N. 37° W.; S.E. point of

passing the buoy steer for the outer black beacon, which
bears from the buoy S. 50° W., then steer between the black
and red beacons for the entrance to the river. Vessels
drawing over 7ft. should not pass the buoy until the water
deepens to 14ft. There are seven black beacons on the port
hand and six red beacons on the starboard hand going in.

Roper River Entrance: The fairway buoy is moored in
17ft. L.W.S., the centre of Gulnare Bluff bearing N. 58° W.
From this fairway buoy the outer black beacon bears west,
and the outer red beacon N. 57° W. From the fairway buoy
a course for the entrance to the river can be steered between
the five black beacons and the four red beacons. Vessels
drawing 7ft. and upwards should not take the bar until after
the first quarter flood.

All bearings true.
