NOTICE TO MARINERS.
GAP ROCK AND SURROUNDING DANGERS. All bearings magnetic. Scale, 1 cable or 200 yards.
W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.
The dangers in the vicinity of the Gap Rock consist of three submerged reefs marked on plan these A is the only one likely to prove dangerous to Shipping:
A, B and C: of
A is situated due west from the flagstaff on the highest point of the island, distant of a cable and a cable from the nearest point of the shore. It consists of three heads and has 9 feet least water upon it.
B is situated N. 18 W. from the flagstaff of a cable distant and about 30 yards from the nearest point of the island; it has 3 feet of water upon it.
ง
It consists of
C is situated NE by N. N. from the flagstaff, distant of a cable and about 50 yards from the shore. two heads the inner being awash and the outer having 7 feet upon it. These appear to be all the dangers in the neighbour- hood.
NOTE. These positions though sufficiently correct for all practical purposes are not strictly speaking accurate as the state of the weather prevented any instruments being lauded. The shape of the island is taken partly from observation and partly from a sketch by the Engineer in charge of the works.
