Notice to Mariners No. 75 of 1902.

Marine Department,
Wellington, 17th October, 1902.

REFERRING to Notice to Mariners No. 51 of 1902, issued by this Department on the 25th July last, the following notice, received from the Department of Ports and Harbours, Melbourne, Victoria, is published for general information.

WM. HALL-JONES.

VICTORIA.—CAPE OTWAY LIGHT.

REFERRING to Notice to Mariners No. 30, dated 4th July, 1902, it is hereby notified that the Cape Otway white flashing light has been screened or cut, so that the characteristic three flashes in quick succession every minute are only visible from seaward between the bearings S. 79° E. and S. 84° W.

Shoreward of such bearings, however, the light will still be seen, but the flashes diminish gradually from three to two, then from two to one, and finally the single flash is lost at about a distance of 15 degrees inside of the above bearings.

Mariners seeing the light as a single or double flash will therefore know they are shoreward of the bearings defining the limits of the full three-flash cuttings.

It is intended on and after the 13th of February, 1903, to show red sectors of the light between the bearings above mentioned and the shore to eastward and westward of the lighthouse.

Port Officer.
