HONGKONG ROADS.
W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.
The line of Telegraph Cables crossing between the North Point of Hongkong and the South-East Point of British Kowloon is now marked by four white posts, (two on each side) each carrying a Red lamp at night. No ships, junks or vessels of any description are to anchor within the rectangle enclosed by these four posts and lights.
The lamps are so screened that the Easternmost lights do not show to the Eastward, nor the Westernmost lights to the Westward of the proscribed grund: when therefore the two lights on the same side can be seen at the same time, it will be evident to Masters of vessels that they must stand on until one or other of the lights is shut in.
The posts may be further distinguished by day by their carrying a red diamond underneath the lamp.
