PORT ADELAIDE AND PORT PIRIE RIVERS.
MASTERS of Vessels, Pilots, and others navigating the Port Adelaide River or the Port Pirie River are hereby cautioned that when Dredgers are working at or near a fairway they are to look out specially for the breast chains, go at a moderate speed, and not let go an anchor so as to foul these chains.
The Dredgers' anchors are placed close to the opposite bank, so that a vessel cannot touch them unless they get aground.
