The ship channel should on all occasions be used by large ships; there is a safe channel through the eastern banks, with seldom less four fathoms water, which is generally used by steamers and other coasters, but should not be taken by a stranger..' As the eastern it of the north bank has not been ascertained, it will be advisable for vessels coming from the northward, that Mount Tempest should t be brought to bear to the eastward of S. by E, until the Lighthouse bears E.S.E., a ship will then be ou the channel course, and may steer W. 4 N. and follow the foregoing directions.
The soundings in the channel between the east and north banks, will decrease gradually from 7 to 5 fathoms, and after rounding the Light Vessel will increase to 10 and 12 fathoms, and there will not be less water until abreast of Tangalooma Point.
From the Pilot Station to some distance beyoud Cowan Cowan, the water is much deeper, and varies from 15 to 20 fathoms.
Ships making Cape Moreton late in the evening will find safe anchorage from 2 to 3 miles inside the north extreme of Cape Moreton, and about a mile and a half off shore, in 6 fathoms water.
The bearings are magnetic. The Light Vessel has done away with the necessity for the chequered buoy at B, but in the event of ber being temporarily removed, that buoy will supply her place. The Light Vessel will shew a double light at night, namely, two vertical 1ghts, with an intervening space of about 5 feet.
NOTICE TO MARINERS.
J. C. WICKHAM, CAPTAIN R.N.,
Government Resident.
The Light will be exhibited at the Light-house on Cape Moreton, for the first time, on Saturday Evening, the 14th February, of which all persons interested are requested to take notice.
