Wellington, N.Z., 11th May, 1925.
Sunken Rock reported to exist.
CAPTAIN R. DAVIES, Master of the s.s. “Kaiapoi,” reports having received information concerning the existence of a sunken rock having about two and a half fathoms over it at M.L.W.S. at an estimated distance of about one mile southward of Dog Island.
The following marks for finding the rock were supplied to him:—
East side of western chimney of light-keeper's dwelling in transit with the west side of Dog Island Lighthouse and Shag Point just open of South-west Point.
From the foregoing, Captain Davies assumes the rock to be in a position south 31° west (mag.), distant 1½ miles from Dog Island Lighthouse, and in which locality no soundings are shown on Admiralty Chart No. 2553.
Endeavour is now being made to verify or disprove the existence of the rock, and in the meantime mariners should avoid passing over the locality in which the rock is reported to exist.
Publications affected: Admiralty Charts Nos. 2553 and 1212; “New Zealand Pilot,” ninth edition, 1919, page 457, et. seq.
