INVESTIGATOR STRAIT.
Nepean Bay. Kangaroo Island.
W. H. MARSH,
Colonial Secretary
Notice is hereby given, that a large cheese-shaped buoy with cylindrical framework, surmounted by a ball, and painted red, has been moored off the end of the sandspit in latitude 35° 41′ 30′′ S., and longitude 137° 42′ 35′′ E., for the purpose of marking the submarine cable between Kingscote and Yankalilla.
Masters of vessels when running into Kingscote harbour for shelter, are requested to anchor to the southward or wel. to the westward of the buoy, in order to avoid the cable.
Masters of coasters or small craft, using the inside anchorage are informed that two (2) beacons have been erected on Bear Point; when in line they mark the position of the cable, and bear from each other N. 67° W. and S. 67° E. It is particularly requested that masters will keep well to the north or south of this line before anchoring.

No. 12 of 1879. SPENCER GULF.
Germein Bay.-Port Pirie.
The following remarks are published for the information and guidance of masters of vessels bound to the anchorage in Germein Bay or to Port Pirie:-
The south side of the channel is marked by a pile beacon surmounted by a ball, painted red, and erected on the north end of Eastern shoal, in lat. 33° 4′ 50′′ S., long. 137° 41′ 45′′ E.
The course from the above beacon to a cheese-shaped buoy, surmounted by cylindrical framework and ball, painted red, is E. by N. N., distant six miles. This buoy is moored in four fathoms at low water, on the N.W. or outer edge of the Cockle Spit. From this buoy, a course of E. by N. will lead to a pile beacon, surmounted by a ball painted red, distant one mile. From the beacon, a course of E. by S., distant three-quarters of a mile, will lead to a cheese-shaped buoy, surmounted by cylindrical framework and ball, painted red. This buoy is moored on the northern or outer edge of the Cockle Spit, in three fathoms at low water.
Proceeding on a course of E. by S. from the last-mentioned buoy, and distant from it one mile, another cheese-shaped buoy, surmounted by staff and ball, painted red, will be observed; it is moored in 15ft. at low water. From thence a course of S.E. by S., distant two and three-quarter miles, will lead to the fairway buoy, which is cheese-shaped, surmounted by cylindrical framework and ball, painted in black and red chequers. This buoy marks the entrance to Port Pirie harbour, and can be passed on either side; it is moored in 10ft. at low water.
The north side of the channel is marked as follows *---
A cheese-shaped buoy, surmounted by staff and ball, painted black, is moored in 12ft. at low water on the S.W. edge of Ward Spit: Lat. 33° 2′ 40′′ S., long. 137° 49′ 45′′ E. A short half-mile to the eastward of this buoy will be observed a pile beacon with square head, painted black; it is in 10ft. at low water. From this beacon, a course of E. 1⁄2 N., distant two and a half miles, will lead to a cheese-shaped buoy surmounted by staff and ball, painted black, and moored in three fathoms on the south edge of Ward Spit. From this buoy, a course of E. by N. N., distant two and a quarter miles, will lead to another black buoy of the same description, placed on the S.E. edge of Ward Spit, and moored in three fathoms at low water. Large ships intending to bring up in the outer roadstead should be prepared to anchor after passing this buoy.
All courses are magnetic.
