Notice to Mariners, No. 15 of 1889.

Marine Department,
Wellington, 6th July, 1889.
THE following Notices to Mariners, received from the
Portmaster, Brisbane, Queensland, are published for
general information.
THOS. FERGUS,
(For the Minister having charge of the
Marine Department.)

SOUTH ENTRANCE TO MORETON BAY.
NOTICE is hereby given that the channel across the bar, at
the south entrance, has shifted farther to the eastward.
Vessels should now enter with the northern shoulder of
Mount Cotton open of Amity Point, about one-third of the
distance across to Moreton Island, and steer for it, passing
the elbow of the South Break on the port hand. When the
first black buoy off the south end of Moreton Island is
sighted, they should haul up and pass it as usual. The
depth on the bar at low-water springs does not exceed 12ft.
G. P. HEATH, Commander, R.N.,
Portmaster.
Department of Ports and Harbours,
Brisbane, 13th June, 1889.

WIDE BAY BAR. - LEADING LIGHTS AND BEACONS AT
SOUTH CHANNEL.
NOTICE is hereby given that, on and after this date, two
leading lights will be exhibited for crossing Wide Bay Bar
by the South Channel. The front light, which is red, is
placed near the beach, midway between the positions of the
front square and triangular beacons, as shown on the chart.
The back light, which is white, is placed alongside the back
square beacon leading through the North Channel, and,
when in line with the front light, leads across the bar on a
N. 46° 30′ W. bearing, with a depth of water of not less than
11ft. at low-water springs.
Directions: After passing Double Island Point, and inside
the Wolf Rock, steer N.W. for about two miles, when the red
and white leading lights will be sighted; bring them in line
and steer with them in that position until the water deepens
to 5 fathoms inside the bar, when haul up and steer for the
red light on Inskip Point, and pass up the channel as usual.
Great care must be taken to haul up and head for the red
light before crossing the line of leading lights on Inskip
Point. The new line for crossing the bar is marked by day
by the triangular beacons, which have been shifted from
their former position. As there is more water in the North
than in the South Channel, the white leading lights have
been temporarily re-lit for the use of those regular traders
of heavier draught, which, in fine weather, can still use that
passage.
G. P. HEATH, Commander, R.N.,
Portmaster.
Department of Ports and Harbours,

Notice to Mariners. -No. 16 of 1889.

On the side of the dredge that all vessels should pass, a red

Masters of steamers passing the dredge at night are re-
quested to stop their engines, when practicable, in order to
