Notice to Mariners No. 49 of 1908.

KAWHIA HARBOUR.—LEADING-BEACONS.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 8th July, 1908.

NOTICE is hereby given that the leading-beacons on Te Motu and the rising ground behind Okura Bay (see Notice 41, June, 1903) which formerly marked the channel for entering Kawhia Harbour are now no longer of service, and to prevent misleading they have been painted brown. A new beacon has therefore been erected on the rock off South Head in the same position as it was in previous to June, 1903, and a small beacon has been erected on the western side of Te Motu Island. These beacons in line bear S. 71° E. magnetic, and lead over the bar in 12 ft. L.W.O.S. After crossing the bar vessels have to haul a little to the northward to clear the south bank.

Charts, &c. affected: Admiralty Charts Nos. 2524 and 2535; “New Zealand Pilot,” seventh edition, 1901, Chap. VII, page 261; “New Zealand Nautical Almanac,” page 288.

As witness my hand, at Wellington, this fourteenth day of July, one thousand nine hundred and eight.
