Referring to Notices Nos. 6 and 9, issued from this Office on the 11th June and the 14th July, 1879, Mariners are now hereby informed that, on and after the 1st March, 1880, Twelve (12) Gas Lights will be exhibited from beacons erected in Port Adelaide River. Vessels bound in must leave them all on the starboard hand.
Directions.
Masters of Vessels when approaching the Outer Bar and coming in at night should bring the Outer Beacon (No. 12) to bear N.E. by E., magnetic. This course will lead over the Outer Bar in not less than eighteen feet at low water, and clear of the Gloucester Bank Buoy. After passing this buoy, a course should be shaped to pass No. 12 beacon at a distance of one-fourth of a cable's length. The other beacons can then be passed at a reasonable distance.
Masters of Ships should not attempt to come in at night without a Pilot unless they are well acquainted with the river, and then great care must be exercised, as some of the lights may be extinguished.
