THE HARBOUR FAIRWAYS.
When a new light-house, a beacon or other guide to navigators has been erected on the coasts, in a roadstead, or at a dock-head in a civilised country, it is usual for the authorities concerned to give due 'notice to mariners con. stantly navigating their vessels in the neighbour. hoed of any proposed alteration in or addition to lights, beacons and bucys, so that the lack of knowledge of such changes may not cause difficulty and danger. Why this manifestly reasonable and accessary precaution was not taken in respect to the recent complete re. arrangement of the falways in the western portion of the harbour of Hongkong woold appear to require some explanation, for the notification hearing upon the changes recently effected was issued only three days prior to the new order of things coming late force, and was, of course, unknown to the masters of vessels arriving from ports more than two or three days distant from this colony.
In consequence of this overnight-on-the-part- of the Haiheur. Department authorlties, masters of steamers bave experienced some difficulty in pleking up their buoys, and in some cases risks of collision have only just been avoided. The notification in question, dated the 20th ulilato and published in the Government Gazelle of the following day:
reads as follows:-
NOTICE TO MARINERS.
Hongkong Harbour.
Notice is hereby given that on the agrd instant, the Central Fairway will be moved about 8co feet to the Northward. The line of the Fairway will continue to be marked as hitherto, viz.: by a red and a white, mark bung at the Western end, and by two lines of meeting buoys running in an East-South-Easterly diree R. MURRAY RUMSEY, Retd. Comdr., R. N.,
tion.
Harbour Mastei, &c.
Harbour Dept., Hongkong, 20th Aprl', 1894.
The causes for the shifting of the central fair way are by no means clear, nofens it be that the Scottish Oriental, China Merchants, P. & O., and other well-known Companies dealsed to have their vessels farther in towards the south shore than formerly. The alteration may also result in faciliating the lighting of the central fairway At night, but it is regrettable that, instead of narrowing the southern fairway by moving the junk and cargo-boat anchorage in a couple of hundred feet or so and thereby focreasing the width of the central fairway, which cannot be made too wide, the harbour. antherlies have stuck to the old measurement for the central channel and have left the southern fairway un- altered. The latter could, as stated, be practically abolished, for were the southern side of the central fairway brought in towards the south shore, there would then be sufficient sea-zoom for the coasting and river steamers that pre- vlously used the southern fairway,
That the general run of shipmasters have more or less legitimate grounds for complaint is respect to the lack of proper notice there would appear to be very little doubt, for the Govern ment Gazette is practically useless, as su advertising medium to the general commnalty and the Government did not even advertise la the local newspapers the radical change
referred to..

McKay was found lying dead, and as the party approached two men rushed from the building, having barely time to reach their horses and escape.
