MARINERS and others are hereby informed that dredging operations will be commenced in the western end of the Hopetoun Channel on or about the 6th September instant; and to indicate the side on which vessels navigating the channel are to pass the dredger there will be exhibited by day a basket ball from the port or starboard side of such dredger, and two red lights in a vertical position, one over the other, not less than 6 ft. apart, by night.
