[No. 18

Patch Light has been shifted to a lightrrom to the E.N.E.
of the old tower, and now, when in line with Cape Moreton
Light, bears E. by S. ½ S. southerly. This line of lights
intersects the Tangaluma lead at the northernmost point at
which the Tangaluma and Cowan Cowan Lights should be
used in line.

The southern limit of the white sector of the Yellow Patch
Light is now that of the old line of lights.

Vessels when to the northward of the southern edge of
this sector will be careful not to get to eastward of the Tan-
galuma lead, nor to the westward, while within a mile to
the southward of it.

The outer white sector of the Yellow Patch Light will not
in future be seen to the southward of S. ¾ E., the light being
intercepted by the land to the eastward of that bearing.

The inner edge of the red sector clears the floating beacon
as formerly.
