COCKLE SPIT, APPROACH TO PORT PIRIE.
REFERRING to notices to mariners numbered 23 of 1905 and 4 of 1907, notice is hereby given that a pile beacon, carrying a clock-faced tide gauge, has been erected on the castern end of Cockle Spit, in 17ft. L.W.S., near the position formerly occupied by the old tide gauge.
The clock faces north-west north, and will be illuminated at night with all possible regularity, but as from its exposed position difficulty may be experienced in attending to its lighting in bad weather, mariners are hereby warned not to trust to its being invariably illuminated under such conditions.
The dial is numbered from 0 to 11, beginning at the top and following round in the same direction as de figures on a clock, and the hand, indicates the height above low-water spring tides. 1 ascertain the depth of water available in Port Pirie Creek therefore, the rise indicated on the tide gauge should be increased by 15ft., the least present depth in the creek at L.W.S.
