HEADS.—CHANGE IN BUOYAGE.—The Canadian Government
has given notice that black buoys Nos. 6 and 7 marking the
ship-channel through the sand-heads at the mouth of the
Fraser River, British Columbia, have been discontinued.
Two new red steel conical buoys, numbered 1 and 2, have
been moored on the southern side of the channel.
One steel conical buoy, painted in black and white
checkers, has been moored off Steveston to mark the bar on
the northern side of the main channel.

are liable to frequent change in position to suit the shifting
of the channel, strangers should not attempt to enter the
river without the assistance of a pilot.
