MORETON BAY.
W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.
ALTERATION OF LEADING LIGHTS, NORTH OR HOWE CHANNEL.
In pursuance of a Notice to Mariners issued from this office on 20th November relative to the proposed alteration in the Lights for the North Channel, at the entrance to Moreton Bay, consequent upon the growth westward of the East Bank, notice is hereby given that on and after the 5th February the position of the Light at Tangaluma will be shifted further to the North-east, and Vessels entering by that Channel will keep the Leading Lights in line, or slightly open to the westward, when passing the East Bank, and as soon as it is passed will be careful not to open them to the westward until they have proceeded a distance of one mile, when they can steer for Cowan Cowan as usual,'
It is possible that the position of the Yellow Patch Light may not be shifted on the same day, but the range of the Red Sector will in either case be the sume, and the Channel in that respect will be navigated as at present.
