NEW SOUTH WALES.

Newcastle Harbour Entrance.—Night Tide Signals.

NOTICE is hereby given that on and after 1st March, 1913, the tide and state-of-bar signals will be shown from sunset to sunrise by means of electric lights exhibited on the southern signal-mast on Signal Hill, Newcastle, instead of from the mast at the Pilot-station. These lights will indicate the actual depth of water at that time in the fairway entrance channel.

The same coloured lights will be used as formerly to denote the depth of water indicated on the bar.

The lights will be visible from seaward and up the harbour for a distance of four (4) miles on a dark clear night.

Should any unforeseen accident occur to the electric signals, the lights hitherto shown by night from the Pilot-station will be exhibited and will continue to be used until the electric-light signals are again shown.

By day the tide and state-of-bar signals will be shown from the flagstaff at the Pilot-station, as hitherto.

By order of the Superintendent.

Secretary.
