Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 8th August, 1921.

THE Auckland Harbour Board notifies that on and after the 25th August, 1921, the following beacon leading-lights will be shown at the entrance to Manukau Harbour:—

1. Back beacon (upper) on flagstaff (790 ft.) at signal-station on South Head, an unwatched (U) Aga white occulting light 3 seconds (2 seconds light, 1 second eclipse). Visible between 65° and 75° for a distance of fourteen miles.
2. Front beacon (lower), wooden structure, bearing 250° distance 1,000 ft. from the upper beacon (flagstaff), an unwatched (U) Aga white occulting light 1 second (½ second light, ½ second eclipse). Visible between 47½° and 92½° for a distance of ten miles.
3. On the same date the existing fixed light in Destruction Gully on the north side of the entrance will be replaced by an unwatched (U) Aga flashing light showing one flash every 3 seconds (0·4 second light, 2·6 seconds eclipse). Visible for a distance of ten miles. The white and green arcs of this light will remain the same as at present.

The upper and lower beacons in line bearing 70° lead over the bar, which has a width of not less than half a mile between the three-fathoms banks, and a depth of not less than 23 ft. M.L.W.S.

After crossing the bar inwards care should be taken to alter course promptly when the Destruction Gully beacon is in line with the edge of Paratutai; otherwise, a vessel may be dangerously close to the edge of the main or middle bank. Strict and constant attention should be paid to the semaphore when entering or leaving.
