Notice to Mariners No. 56 of 1902.

TIDES AT EAST CAPE.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 6th August, 1902.

THE principal lightkeeper at East Cape states that, having noted the time of high water at F. and C. at East Cape for some time, he finds it to be about 6 hours 15 minutes, instead of 8 hours 55 minutes, as given in the “New Zealand Pilot.” It is likely that several of the tide establishments need revision: for instance, it will be seen that Cape Runaway is given on the chart as having high water at F. and C. at 9 hours 16 minutes, and Te Kaha, only twenty miles to the S.W. of it, as 6 hours 30 minutes, and the tidal stream here runs to the westward. It would seem likely, therefore, that one or other of these times is considerably in error.

Charts, &c., affected: Admiralty charts Nos. 1212 and 2527; “New Zealand Pilot,” 7th edition, page 145.
