New Beacon for the Whittle Rock, False Bay.
A Beacon has been erected on a large flat-topped rock near Oatlands Point, which will, in conjunction with the beacon that now stands on the shoulder of the hill beneath Simon's Berg, point out the position of the Whittle Rock. The rock on which the beacon stands lies a few yards from the shore and 0.85 miles from the Shoulder Beacon. When on the Whittle Rock the two beacons will be in a line, and also in line with a large patch of whitewashed rocks on the hill northward of The Oatlands Point beacon is Simon's Town, bearing N.N.W. 3 W. The shoulder beacon is white, with a staff and ball. triangular, 35 feet high, and painted white with a red band in the centre.
The advantage of this beacon is that it points out to ships from the westward that they are clear of the Whittle Rock whilst it is kept open to the eastward of the Shoulder Beacon. This was somewhat difficult with the patch of whitewashed rocks behind Simon's Town for a mark, as vessels were obliged to run far to the eastward before the patch opened out clear of the shoulder of Simon's Berg hill.

* Vessels entering Table Bay during the day when blowing hard from S.E. after passing the Mouille Point, may, with great advantage, anchor in 10 or 12 fathoms, where they will be in a good position for dropping into the inner anchorage on the following morning, as the wind invariably falls light during the night although the S.E. may continue to blow hard on the East side of the Bay. By observing this rule, more particularly in ships of large tonnage, a great deal of anxiety and risk in wearing ship, when missing stays, will be avoided, and less casualties occur from loss of anchors and cables when endeavouring to bring up on
the Eastern shore.
