GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 492.
The following is published.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 28th November, 1891.
NOTICE TO MARINERS. HONGKONG.
W. M. GOODMAN, Acting Colonial Secretary.
It having been reported that on the night of the 2nd instant the British Steam-ship Lightning struck a pinnacle rock on the North side of the Sulphur Channel, a minute examination was made of the locality by the officers of Her Majesty's Surveying Ship Egeria on the 14th instant. The result of the examination entirely failed to discern any pinnacle rock or any indication of one outside the three fathom line and substantially corroborates the accuracy of the Admiralty Chart No. 1466. In consequence of this examination it is considered that no such rock exists, and that vessels keeping outside the three fathom line will have ample water.
The Lighthouse on Green Island was found to be 150 yards S.S.E. of the position assigned to it on the Chart.
Harbour Department, Hongkong, 26th November, 1891.
WM. C. H. HASTINGS, Comdr. R.N., (Retd.), Acting Harbour Master, &c.
