NEW ZEALAND.

Working Lights used by Fishing-vessels on New Zealand Coasts.

ATTENTION is drawn to the working lights used by fishing-vessels when engaged in fishing on the coasts of New Zealand, and to the distances from which they may be seen under varying conditions of visibility and elevation.

In some descriptions of fishing in which it becomes necessary the surface of the water in the vicinity of a fishing-vessel should be illuminated, lights of unusual brilliancy may be used overside at some elevation for that purpose. In such cases the light shields or hoods may enable the lights to be seen occasionally only, and with a semblance of regularity owing to wind or wave motion.

When such lights are seen care should be taken to ensure they are not confused with lights used on shore or afloat for the purpose of the navigation of ships.

G. H. TANNER, for Secretary.
