OTAGO HARBOUR.--LIGHTS ESTABLISHED AT ENTRANCE.
Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 7th April, 1920.
WITH reference to Notice No. 63 of 1919, the Otago
Harbour Board notifies that two unwatched Aga
lights have been erected to mark the course clearing the end
of the mole, the structure and light formerly marking the
end of the mole having been washed away. The front light,
flashing every two seconds, is situated in red beacon No. 2
to the southward of Harrington Point. The rear light, flash-
ing every second, is placed in a rectangular beacon situated
on shore above the Kaik Dairy Factory. The seaward face
of both beacons is painted with black and white horizontal
stripes.
The line of flashing lights 186° (S. 11° 30' E. magnetic)
intersects the line of main leading-lights at a point where
the line of mole if produced would cut.
Inward-bound vessels should keep the main leading-lights
in line until the flashing lights come into line. At this point
the vessel is off the mole-end and hauls up as usual. Out-
ward-bound vessels after passing Harrington Point should
keep the flashing lights in line until the main leading-lights
come into line, then they proceed as usual.
