S. ½ S., and by steering on that bearing (or
prescribed by any Order or Orders in Council
accordingly), she will be brought to the anchorage which is three quarters of a mile from the shore, and may anchor, un-
less otherwise directed by the Signal Master.

From the South.—When abreast of the
Outer Sugar Loaf Island (Motumahanga),
distant quarter of a mile, steer N.E. until
the flagstaff at the Waitara bears S. E. by
S. ½ S. and then steer for the flagstaff until
the Outer Sugar Loaf Island is in line with
Kate Point (the western point of the Wai-
tara bight) bearing S.W. by W. (westerly.)

A vessel will then be in six fathoms sandy
bottom and may anchor with safety three
quarters of a mile off shore. The Seal Rock
(the westernmost of the Sugar Loaf group)
should on no account be opened south of
the Outer Sugar Loaf (Motumahanga) until the
flagstaff at the Waitara bears S.E. A ves-
sel will thus keep clear of the roll on Puke-
tapu Reef.

at the Waitara, a pilot can be taken on
