Suez Bay-Lights at Port Ibrahim.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

With reference to Notice to Mariners, No. 9, issued from this Department on 7th August, 1880, the Controller General of Egyptian Light-houses at Alexandria points out that the information therein contained-which was reprinted from the Notice to Mariners No. 111, issued by the British Hydrographic Office on 5th July, 1880—is inexact in some particulars. The following revised information is therefore published:

1. Two floating light-buoys painted black are placed 897 yards seaward of the entrance of the harbour, from which lights may be exhibited on application at the Port Office-red on the northern side of the channel; green on the southern side.

2. A fixed red light is shown from the extremity of the north molc head; a fixed green light, from the extremity of

the south mole head.

3. A fixed white light is shown from the extreme (western) end of the inner pier of the Larbour.

NOTE.

The foregoing green and red lights mark the channel into the port.

Entering Port Ibrahim-the red lights are left on the port hand, the green lights on the starboard hand, the vessel being steered for the white light on the inner pier.

Buoyage.

Also, that a buoy has been placed on each side of the channel to Port Ibrahim, 568 yards from the mole heads-the northern buoy in a line with the red lights, the southern buoy in a line with the green lights.
