BRISBANE RIVER.—DREDGED CHANNELS.

NOTICE is hereby given that a net depth of 15ft. now exists throughout the river between the town and the Outer Bar, and on the latter the minimum depth is 14ft. at low-water springs.
As the cuttings are only 100ft. wide, masters of vessels are cautioned to exercise great care, and to avoid as far as possible meeting another vessel in the cuttings, and to slow down to a low rate of speed at such distance from dredges and attendant plant as will insure their passing without causing any damage.
The magnetic bearings of the line of lights and beacons at Eagle Farm Flats and at the Inner Bar are now N. 25° E. and N. 23° 30′ E., respectively. The list giving the magnetic bearings of the different lines of leading beacons is to be corrected accordingly.
