“EASBY” WRECK.—GABO ISLAND.

Referring to Notice to Mariners No. 175, dated 16th April, 1907, it is hereby notified that the “Easby” wreck at Gabo Island has broken in two at the after end of the engine-room, and the stern portion, having shifted, now forms an angle with the fore part of the vessel, rendering it dangerous for vessels to attempt to approach that portion of the anchorage shoreward of the wreck by passing to northward of such wreck. Vessels approaching such anchorage should pass with care to southward of the wreck between it and the Lighthouse Jetty. Mariners are informed that the red light formerly exhibited from the mainmast of the wreck will be discontinued, and in lieu thereof a red light will be exhibited as soon as possible from the outer end of the Lighthouse Jetty.

Port Officer.

Such gas buoy, showing an all-round green occulting light, will be in 28 ft. low water, with the Altona black beacon in line with the railway water-tower at Newport, bearing N. 17° E., and the shed at the outer end of Truganina Jetty bearing N. 84° W., marking the most suitable anchorage to facilitate the discharge and shipment of explosives for vessels within the area defined by the regulations for vessels with explosives on board.
