Various,

Entering the channel from seaward,

red beacons will be found on the

starboard side of the channel, and must be left on the starboard hand

by vessels passing in.

Entering the channel from seaward,

black beacons will be found on the port side of the channel, and must

be left on the port hand by vessels passing in.

Beacons painted in red and black vertical stripes will be used to mark

spits and the outer and inner ex-

tremities of banks, shoals, or ex- tensive reefs, where there is a na-

vigable channel on either side.

Beacons painted in red and black

chequers will be used to mark rocks in the open sea, also to mark rocks of small extent having channels on either side of them.

When two chequered beacons of these colours are used to mark a rock or reef, the red and white one is to mark the starboard side of the channel, and must be left on the starboard hand by vessels passing

in; and the black and white one is

to mark the port side of the channel,

and must be left on the port hand

by vessels passing in.

Note. It is to be understood that

the above rules for paint-

ing beacons apply in each

case to the body of the structure. When a bea- con which is painted a single colour, either black or red, is surmounted by a distinguishing mark, such mark may be painted the same colour as the body of the beacon or with that colour and white

combined, or white alone.

When the body of a beacon

is painted in two colours,

the same colours only

may be used to paint the

mark by which it is sur-

mounted. Whenever a distinguishing mark is used, a particular descrip- tion of it will be given in the published List.

Beacons on shore, to enable bear- ings to be taken or to give lines of direction for crossing bars or en-

tering rivers, harbours, &c., are to be painted so as to make them as

conspicuous as possible.

Red,

black, and white are the only co-

lours to be used, and a particular description of such marks will be given in the published List.
