Notice to Mariners No. 43 of 1906.

Marine Department,
Wellington, 29th May, 1906.

THE following Notices to Mariners, received from the Board of Trade, London, are published for general information.

WM. HALL-JONES.

AFRICA.

TABLE BAY.—The bell buoy, in approx. 33° 50′ S., 18° 22¼′ E., prev. marking Whale Rk., with Robben Isl. Lt.-h., N. 37° E., 1¼ miles, has been withdrawn. Feb.

With reference to prev. notice, a provis. F. green lt. (oil-lantern), vis. over an arc of about 200°, is exh. from the extr. of the breakwater in place of the lt. washed away. Also the 3 F. white lts. triangularly placed on the S. pier have been disc. April.

CAPE ST. FRANCIS LT.—About 15th May, 1906, this fl. white and red lt. every 20 secs. (34° 12′ S., 24° 50′ E.) is to be altered to show 1 fl. every 5 secs., and increased in power. In other respects the lt. remains unchanged. April.

INDIAN OCEAN.

COLOMBO HARB.—A rocky ridge, about 50 ft. broad, named Onagalla, carrying 3¾ fms. over its nrn. end, in approx. 7° 0′ N., 79° 50′ E., in the approach to the harb., 2⁹⁄₁₀ miles N. 13° W. from the red lt. on the S.W. arm of the breakwater, extends about one mile S. 13° E. from the above head, and has four other heads carrying 4 to 4½ fms., with from 5 to 7 fms. between them, marked by a red spher. buoy, moored in 6¾ fms., in approx. 6° 59′ N., 79° 50¼ E., 2 miles N. 14° W. from the red lt. on the S.W. arm of the breakwater. To the erd. and wrd. of the ridge there are depths of from 7 to 8 fms., but the lead gives but slight warning of the approach to it. Further exam. shows that the least depth on this ridge is 3½ fms. April.

New Zealand, North Isl., W., Manukau Harb. March.

No. 803. New chart, New Zealand, North Isl., Port Nicholson, Lambton Harb. and Evans Bay. March.

New chart, New Zealand, North Isl., E., Great Barrier Isl., ports and anchorages. Feb.

New chart, New Zealand, North Isl., Hauraki Gulf, Omaha Bay to Tiri-Tiri Matangi, including Kawau Bay. Feb.

No. 2411. New Zealand, South Isl., Otago Harb. Oct.

PACIFIC OCEAN.

Tuamoto (or Low) Archipelago.

FAKARAVA ATOLL.—The ship “Zélée” passed over the position of the bank charted in approx. 16° 7′ S., 146° 3′ W., about 15 miles wrd. from Fakarava Atoll, and marked E.D., without seeing any indic. of it. As the authority for the existence of this bank is obse., and as its reported position was passed over several times in 1886 without any sign of its existence being detected, it is considered that it may safely be erased from the charts. Soundings of 71, 76, and 110 fms. were obtained between Fakarava and the supposed position of this bank. April.

FAKARAVA ISL. — ROTOAVA.—A F. white lt., vis. from S. 53° E., through E., to N. 8° W., elev. 29 ft. above H.W., R. 10 miles, is exh. from an iron support in 16° 2½′ S., 145° 38½′ W., near the root of the pier at Rotoava. It is presumed that this lt. replaces the former F. red lt. given in a prev. notice. April,

NORTH AMERICA.

SAN FRANCISCO LT.-v.—On 1st April, 1906, Lt.-v. No. 70 (37° 45′ N., 122° 41′ W.) is to be temp. replaced by a red lt.-buoy, marked “Light-vessel moorings” in black, exh. a F. white lt. April.
