LOCAL NOTICE TO MARINERS, No. 28.
Navigation of Canton River.
Acting Colonial Secretary.
FREDERICK STEWART,
Acting Colonial Secretary. ·
H. E. the Governor General of the Liang Kuang wishes to have notice given that the removal of the torpedoes between Hu-mên (Bocca Tigris) and Whampoa, laying of which was notified by Local Notices to Mariners Nos. 14, 15 and 17, having now been almost completed, the regulations affecting the navigation of the Canton River published in Local Notices to Mariners Nos. 16, 17, 18, 21 and 22 are now withdrawn.
Foreign vessels approaching Canton will, consequently, be no longer required to wait outside the Bocca Tigris till they have been inspected and granted permission to proceed. They are at liberty also to pass inwards or outwards by night as well as by day, and, if they see fit, without engaging a Torpedo Pilot.
Vessels proceeding without a Torpedo Pilot are, however, warned to avoid approaching the river banks, the floating torpedoes inshore not having been all removed.
T. MOOREHEAD, Harbour Master.

Commissioner of Customs.
