The intended shifting, on the 8th instant, of the North Tree Beacon about a mile to the south-eastward of its former position was advertised in Chinkiang Local Notice to Mariners No. 111. In its new position it will bear, approximately, N.E. by N. from the Upper Crossing Buoy.

The channel in the neighbourhood of the Vine Point Buoy has narrowed to a distance of 3 cables between the 30-foot contours. In their new positions the Vine Point Buoy and the Waterman Bank Buoy will be one on each side of the narrowest part of the channel.
