When approaching the checkered buoy on outer bar, bring the upper FIXED RED light in line with the lower FIXED WHITE light bearing SE. by E. E., nearly; this will lead close past the checkered buoy, moored about two miles westward of Mount Ferguson. Keep the lights in one until opening out the first FIXED WHITE light the entrance to the narrows, which can be passed about ship's length off, the other two lights to the southward will then become visible. Pass the second fight about a ship's length off, and continue thus until passing the bar buoys, when a course can be steered for the inner light, which pass at a distance of about 50 yards. The last three lights should be left to starboard in entering.
