Notice to Mariners No. 81 of 1905.

Marine Department,
Wellington, 3rd October, 1905.

THE following Notice to Mariners, received from the Marine Board, South Australia, is published for general information.

WM. HALL-JONES.

INVESTIGATOR STRAIT.

MASTERS of vessels and others are warned that it is reported that the schooner “Cygnet” is sunk in 14 fathoms of water off Point York, and that her main boom is so detached from the hull that it is a danger to navigation.

The vessel’s bearings, as given by Captain Littley of the ketch “Lurline,” are: Point York bearing N.N.W., distant about nine miles; Althorpes bearing west, distant about 18 miles; and Point Marsden E.S.E.

The danger will be removed with as little delay as possible, but in the meantime masters of vessels should avoid the locality as far as possible.

President of the Marine Board.
