NOTICE TO MARINERS.

CAPTAIN CELLEM, of the s.s.
"Queen" reports having grazed on
a rock hitherto unknown in the Channel,
between the East Cape Island and the
main.

The following is an extract from his
report:—"The rock is about one cable’s
length west from the middle of the island,
and had 12 feet water on it. I grazed
the same at 1 a.m., on the 25th May, in
the s.s. "Queen," on her last passage from
Auckland."

Captain Cellem’s report, and also that
of the master of the s.s. "Beautiful Star,"
which vessel recently struck on a rock
north of the East Cape, tends to show
that the whole locality is dangerous.

The Board, therefore, would caution
masters of vessels against making use of
the channel in question.

CHARLES SHARP,
Master Warden.
