29 feet.
.24 to 25 feet.
Vessels with a draught not exceeding 22 feet can now enter and leave the harbour without difficulty or delay during all seasons of the year.
During the fair season, vessels with a draught not exceeding 24 feet can enter and leave the harbour. Fixed moorings are placed for vessels of the largest class.
Tides.—It is high water, full and change, at 10 hours 30 minutes; average springs rise 9 feet 6 inches, and neaps 3 to 4 feet.*
Directions. Masters of vessels should endeavour to make Kurrachee Harbour during the day, and they may with safety approach into a depth of 8 fathoms at about 2 miles from Manora lighthouse, between the bearings of N.E. to N.N.E., but should then heave to for a pilot.
Pilots.-Masters of ships should not under any circumstances attempt to enter the harbour without a pilot. The pilots always come off in a pulling boat in the fine weather, but in a 50-ton cutter during the monsoon.
Steam vessels can enter the harbour either on flood or ebb tide at the pilots" discretion. Sailing vessels should enter on the ebb.
A mail steamer arriving off the harbour at night should burn two blue lights in quick succession. During the fair season a pilot will at once board, but during the south-west monsoon the vessel must be kept off the harbour until daylight.

* Tide tables for Kurrachee are published by authority of the Secretary of State for India.
