AVIS AU COMMERCE.

Le commandant Niel, du paquebot le Haiphong, a l'honneur de porter à la connaissance du commerce et de la marine que, dans son dernier voyage au Tonkin, il a constaté que le vaßeur coulé au large du cap Ba-ké n'a plus aujourd'hui que le mât de misaine qui émerge de 4 à 5 mètres environ du niveau de la mer, le grand mât ayant dû être emporté il y a peu de jours.

Dans l'intérêt de la navigation, il a cru devoir déterminer d'une manière exacte la position de cette épave qui se trouve sur la route suivie par les navires allant ou venant de l'Est, et qui devient, par le fait de la disposition de sa mâture, un danger réel pour la navigation.

Les relèvements suivants ont été pris à 50 mètres au plus de l'épave:

Morne Tai-ku, N. 39° E. vrais ; Sommet Ba-ké, N. 32° 0. idem; Morne Courni, N. 16° 0. idem ; Sommet S., N. 24° E. idem.
