USE OF RED BEACON, EASTERN PIER, LAKES ENTRANCE.

Referring to former Notices to Mariners, mariners and others are hereby warned that under present conditions and until further notice navigation at the entrance (except during slack water) requires great care, and that in order to clear the vicinity of the submerged Western Pier and stumps and stones referred to, as well as the shallow water existing between such obstructions and the bar, they must keep to the eastward of the flagstaff and the red beacon in line while approaching and leaving the entrance between the piers. Masters are also cautioned against a strong set to the westward during the prevalence of easterly weather between the bar and entrance piers. Navigation of the entrance at night-time is attended with considerable risk.
