THE following Notice to Mariners, received from the Portmaster, Brisbane, Queensland, is published for general information.

WM. HALL-JONES.

NEW ENTRANCE-CHANNEL, PORT DOUGLAS, QUEENSLAND.

Notice is hereby given that, on and after 1st March, the small light showing a white sector, and the leading-beacons carrying green lights at night, for crossing the bar, will be discontinued, and a pair of white triangular beacons, with vertical black stripe in centre, carrying white lights at night, will be exhibited from Magazine Islet, bearing in line N.E. by N. ½ N.

These lights and beacons in line lead through the centre of the recently dredged channel, 200 ft. wide, across the bar, with a depth of 10 ft. at L.W.S. The depth in the inlet up to the wharves remains as before, i.e., 5 ft. to 6 ft. L.W.S. Dredging operations to form a basin will continue in progress.

Directions. — To enter the inlet, bring the pair of triangular beacons or white lights at night in line bearing N.E. by N. ½ N. when approaching Island Point. Keep these marks in line until the existing pair of beacons, carrying red lights at night, bearing N. ½ E, come in line, when proceed on the latter line as heretofore.
