LOCAL NOTICE TO MARINERS.
No. 1 of 1920.
FOOCHOW DISTRICT.
Conservancy Works in Min River between Nantai Harbour and Kushan Point.
NOTICE is hereby given that the construction of training works in bamboo and stone in the above named stretch of the river is now in progress and that, part of the latter constituting a danger to navigation, they have been marked as follows:-
A. Two Cribs or Spur Dykes projecting from the shore off Simpson Island.-
The ends of each of these as they progress will be kept marked by a Spar Buoy painted black. At night a sampan will be moored over the spot showing a single red light.
Vessels should keep well to the North of these marks. When completed the buoys will be replaced by permanent beacons and the lights suspended from these.
B. -Kushan Training Wall, Upper Section. The upper section of this training wall is being gradually built out from the lower end of Green Island towards Kushan point. The end will be marked by a beacon painted red and carrying a double red light (vertically above each other) at night.
Vessels should take every precaution not to attempt passing between this mark and the bamboo training works which are seen to project from the lower end of Green Island, but should keep on the South and East sides of the mark.
C.-Kushan Training Wall, Central Section. -A detached portion of this training wall is about to be commenced. The extremities will be marked by beacons painted black which are to be left on the port side by vessels ascending the river. At night each beacon will be provided with a single red light.
ÚN NO ACCOUNT IS A VESSEL TO ATTEMPT PASSING BETWEEN THOSE BEACONS. N.B.---As a general scheme, all marks which are to be left on the port side by a vessel ascending the river are painted black and all marks which are to be left on the starboard side are painted red, whether beacons, buoys, or temporary marks. A black mark is represented at night by a single red light and a red mark by a double red light vertically arranged. When two or more marks of the same colour occur in sequence great care should be taken not to pass between them but to leave them all on the same side, if necessary by following round the bends which are determined by a course leading from mark to mark at a distance of about 100 yards from each.
