Notice to Mariners, No. 17 of 1897.

EXHIBITION OF LIGHT ON ROCKY POINT, NEAR CAPE PALLISER,
EASTERN ENTRANCE TO COOK STRAIT, NEW ZEALAND.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 12th October, 1897.

WITH reference to the preliminary notices, No. 37 of
1896, and No. 9 of 1897, issued by this department
on the 14th December, 1896, and the 28th June, 1897, re-
spectively, it is hereby notified that, on and after Wednes-
day, the 27th October, 1897, a light will be exhibited from
sunset to sunrise from the lighthouse which has been
erected on Rocky Point, near Cape Palliser, the position
and characteristics of which are as follow:—

Rocky Point is situated in latitude 41° 36′ 45″ S., and
longitude 175° 18′ 45″ E., as measured from the Admiralty
chart.

The tower is constructed of cast-iron, and has a concrete
base. The total height from the bottom of the base to the
top of the lantern is 58 ft. It is situated 640 ft. distant from
high-water mark, at an elevation of 210 ft. above the level
of the sea, and is painted white.

The light will be 258 ft. above sea-level at high water, and
is a dioptric revolving white light of the second order,
flashing twice every half-minute, with intervals of three
seconds between the flashes. It will be visible to seaward
over an arc of the horizon of about 214°, or as far as the
land will allow, and should be seen in clear weather about
twenty-five statute miles from the deck of a vessel of
ordinary height.

CAUTION.—It is anticipated that Cape Palliser light will
be visible from the sea between the following bearings:
namely, from E. ½ N. round by south and east to S.W. ½
W. It will be seen from these bearings that the light shows
over the Black Rocks and part of the mainland; therefore
mariners are cautioned not to approach within four or five
miles of the light until these dangers are passed.

NOTE.—All bearings are correct magnetic.

Charts, &c., affected: Admiralty charts Nos. 695, 2054,
and 2582; "New Zealand Pilot," Chapter iii., page 167.
