Notice to Mariners, No. 18 of 1893.

Marine Department,
Wellington, 4th May, 1893.

THE following Hydrographic Notice, received from His Excellency the Naval Commander-in-Chief, Australian Station, is published for general information.

P. A. BUCKLEY.

TUTUILLA ISLAND, AND UPOLU ISLAND, SAMOAN GROUP.

“Orlando,” at Sydney, 29th March, 1893.

(Hydrographic Notice No. 3.)

THE following information, received from H.M.S. “Ringarooma,” is hereby promulgated:—

HYDROGRAPHIC REMARKS.

I. Tutuilla Island—Leading-marks erected at Pango Pango.

The following leading-marks have been established at Pango Pango, to clear Whale and Grampus Rocks:—

The cross at southern end of Roman Catholic church, in line with centre of white triangular beacon on side of hill behind it, leads about half-way between Whale and Grampus Rocks.

Beacons in line are N. 27° W. The beacon is composed of wood, and painted white, but, owing to the quantity of bush round it, does not show as soon as Roman Catholic church when coming up west of Taema Bank.

The positions of the leading-marks are from personal observation.

Position of Roman Catholic church: Extreme of land by Loa Loa 39° 6′ N.E., extreme by Goat Island 38° 26′, Blunt Point 26° 45′, Breaker Point.

Position of beacon: Roman Catholic church S. 27° E., and Blunt Point 25° 35′, Breaker Point.

Chart affected: No. 1730.

Sailing Directions: Pacific Islands, Vol. ii., 1891, page 66.

II. Upolu Island, North Coast, Samoan Group—Vailele Harbour—Shoal Ground to N.E. of Western Reef of Vailele Bay.

A shoal, on which the sea breaks during heavy swells, lies to N.E. of western reef forming Vailele Bay; it lies N.W. by W. and S.E. by E., about 1 to 1½ cables in length. Owing to the amount of swell and the absence of conspicuous objects on the plan of Vailele, it is very difficult to fix. As near as could be ascertained, the eastern end of the shoal, with 6 fathoms on it, lies with Branker bearing S.W. by W. ¼ W., 8½ cables. The least water is probably 1 to 2 fathoms. Between the shoal and main western reef, the edge of which is always visible, there is a channel of 10 to 16 fathoms.

When entering Vailele keep close round north-west end of eastern reef, which is steep-to and apparently clear of dangers.

Position of east end with 6 fathoms, Vailele Church 60°, Mount Vailele 91°, Utumauu Point. Bearing of this position from ship N. 32° E. Position of ship, N.E. point of land north of Branker W. by N. ½ N. N.E. extreme Laulii Bay S.S.E. ¼ E.

Charts affected: Nos. 1730 and 1339.
