2.- Waterman Bank Lower Buoy.
This black buoy, now a conical one 6 feet in diameter and surmounted by a black spherical cage, has been shifted about mile to the northward of its former position. It is moored in 44 fathoms at low water spring tides, and marks the N.E. edge of the Waterman Bank.
3.-Langshan Buoy.
This buoy has been painted red, as it now marks the S.W. edge of the bank to the eastward of it, and it is moored in 6 fathoms at low water spring tides.
As the banks near the Langshan Crossing are liable to sudden changes, this part of the river should be navigated with caution, and the lead kept going.
