Notice to Mariners, No. 4 of 1895.

SHIFTING BEACONS, BULLER RIVER, WESTPORT.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 28th January, 1895.

The Westport Harbour Board have notified their inten-
tion to shift the beacon gradually during the construc-
tion of the inner training-wall on the south-west side of
the Buller River, below the lagoon. The river beacons,
prior to moving, stood in line S.E. ¼ S. and N.W. ¼ N. mag-
etic. The front beacon, which now stands on a railway
wagon for the sake of portability, has been moved to the
north-eastward, changing the bearing of the river beacons to
N.W. ¼ W. magnetic, inward; and it is intended to con-
tinue this gradual moving of the river beacons until the wall
has proceeded a certain distance. Shipmasters working the
port will therefore be guided simply by the beacons as for-
merly, irrespective, however, of any compass-bearings being
given. When the wall has been constructed as far as it is
intended at present to carry it, the beacons will be set, and
their respective compass-bearings given. A further Notice
to Mariners on the subject will then be published.

Regulations as to Survey of Steamers.

In pursuance and exercise of the power and authority
conferred upon me by section one hundred and eighty-
five of "The Shipping and Seamen's Act, 1877," I, Joseph
George Ward, the Minister having charge of the Marine
Department and of the administration of the said Act, do
hereby make the following regulations:—

REGULATIONS.

1. It shall be the duty of the master and also of the
   chief engineer of every steamship to at all times hold avail-
   able for inspection by the Engineer-Surveyor, and for that
   purpose to produce to him whenever requested so to do, the
   engineer's log book, and all papers or returns which show
   the revolutions of the vessel's engines, the steam-pressure,
   and the vacuum carried under ordinary full-speed conditions
   of the vessel.

2. In all sea-going steamships the propelling engines of
   over fifty indicated horse-power which are not fitted with
   indicator gear shall be fitted with all the necessary pipes,
   cocks, and connecting gear on each engine to enable indi-
   cator diagrams to be taken.

3. In all sea-going steamships diagrams shall be taken
   under ordinary full-speed conditions from each engine
   of every steamship by the chief engineer or other the
   engineer in charge, at least once every three months during
   which the vessel is at sea, or at such other intervals as the
   Engineer-Surveyor may from time to time prescribe. Such
   diagrams shall be in duplicate, and shall show the date
   when taken, the scale, state of the weather, immersion of
   the vessel, diameter of the cylinder, length of stroke, boiler-
   pressure or receiver-pressure or vacuum, and the number of
   revolutions made per minute. All such diagrams shall be
   accessible to the Engineer-Surveyor, and one duplicate of
   each set shall be supplied to him for his use.

As witness my hand, at Wellington, this twenty-fourth
day of January, one thousand eight hundred and
ninety-five.

   to certify that he is satisfied the crude cyanide of potassium
   is the product of New Zealand material only, and that it
