NOTICE TO MARINERS.
The Buoys marking the dangers in the harbour of Amoy have been painted according to the rule in use by the British Admiralty and Trinity Board, viz. :—to mark the starboard side of channels entering by black or red buoys only, the port side of channels entering by black or red buoys chequered, vertically striped with white, and middle ground by horizontally striped buoys.
Kellet Spit, north end, formerly marked by a striped buoy, is now marked by a
red buoy.
Coker Rocks, formerly marked by a red buoy, are now marked by a vertically striped red and white buoy. This buoy has been placed about 20 fathoms to the E.S.E. of the shoalest patch, in order to guard vessels against ledges of rock, with 15 feet water, found to exist in that direction, and it may be passed close to on the port hand when entering the harbour. The shoalest patch, or pinnacle of the Coker Rocks, has a floating beacon on it until further notice.
New Rock, in north part of harbour, and Brown's Rock are marked by horizon-
tally striped buoys.
In case any of these buoys are lost or moved, the position will as soon as possible be marked by a flag-boat or floating beacon.
