H. M. S. Princess Charlotte,
24th April, 1874.
SIR, I have the honor to report that a Black and White chequered conical shaped Buoy, was yesterday placed on the "Bokhara Rock" off Cape d'Aguilar. It lies in 23 feet water, low water springs, close to the 19 feet pinnacle, and from it Cape d'Aguilar Light-house (building) bears S. 63° 20′ W., Tathong Rock on with extreme of Cape Collinson, N. 17° W., and the West extreme of Lochaw Island, just touching the South extreme of the islands off Cape d'Aguilar, S. 43° W.
Vessels are recommended to give it a berth of at least half a cable, as on account of the heavy sea that is generally running there, the Buoy may possibly shift about a little at times.
Το
Commodore Parish,
I have, &c.,
(Signed,)
T. W. WEBSTER, Navigating Lieutenant.
