To cross bar, bring N.W. corner of Fort to bear E.N.E. Steer in on that course until North part of Saracen Head bears E. b N. when shape course through entrance. Flood and ebb tides set towards Southern shore. Care must be taken on entering to starboard the helm as soon as possible to avoid grounding on spit inside entrance. This spit is gradually extending to the Northward.
In mooring let go first anchor abreast Customs Flagstaff the best holding ground in the harbour. Pilots uncertain. A good typhoon anchorage.
From a tracing of a plan made by a former Harbour Master at Takau in 1890 the following information is gathered. The one fathom spit to Southward of the tower appears to have extended about 100 feet to the North Westward, There is a slight decrease in the depths over the bar.
The leading mark given viz. N.W. corner of Fort bearing E.N.E. appears to lead in deepest water over the bar, about 114 feet.
