Notice to Mariners No. 60 of 1903.

Marine Department,
Wellington, 2nd September, 1903.

REFERRING to Notices to Mariners Nos. 39 and 57
of 1903, issued by this Department on the 1st June
and 17th August, 1903, respectively, the following notice,
received from the Marine Board, Port Adelaide, South Aus-
tralia, is published for general information.

WM. HALL-JONES.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA.—GULF ST. VINCENT.—PORT ADELAIDE
RIVER.

REFERRING to Notices to Mariners Nos. 3 and 4, dated 15th
May and 25th July, 1903, respectively, further notice is
hereby given that the following alterations which have been
found necessary will be made on or about the 30th August
next:—

The beacons forming No. 1 lead will be removed alto-
gether.

In lieu thereof two beacons showing green lights will be
placed on the North Bank, one near the present reflecting
beacon and the other opposite the present No. 1 white
light, as shown on plan which may be obtained at these
offices.

Two light-beacons (both red) will be placed on the North
Bank, which, when in line, will lead through the cutting to
the bend, and will hereafter be termed No. 1 lead.

Sailing Directions.—To enter the river pass the occulting
light buoy at a distance of about 50 ft., and steer between
the white light on a pile abreast the old lighthouse and the
first green light, which is placed between the reflecting
beacon and the cutting, on a N.E. by E. course, passing the
second green light at a similar distance until the new lead
on the North Bank (now termed No. 1 lead) comes in line.
Keep them in line until abreast of No. 2, then steer for
No. 3 as before.

This affects Admiralty Chart No. 1750.

P.S.—Owing to the nature of the work in progress, this
notice may require to be amended from time to time, and
therefore should be treated as tentative only.

During the progress of the work at the Light’s Passage
Harbour, masters exempt from pilotage may, if they so
desire, avail themselves of the services of a pilot to assist
them in passing the works, either in or out, at one-half the
usual pilotage rates.

If the usual exemption flag is not hoisted it will be taken
as a signal that a pilot is required. At night if a pilot is
wanted the usual signal for a pilot should be shown.
