NOTICE TO MARINERS.
INDIAN OCEAN-
(No. 6.)
\YCHELLES—MAHÉ ISLAND.
Exhibition of Fixed Red Lights at Port Victoria.
Information has been received from Her Britannic Majesty's Chief Commissioner of the Seychelle Islands that, on the 1st March 1877, a fixed red light was exhibited from a light-house recently constructed on the north-west edge of the
Southern reef at the entrance to Port Victoria.
The light is exhibited at an elevation of 37 feet above the level of high-water, visible through an are 142°; or, from S. 1o E., through south and west, to N. 39° W., except where obscured by the outlying islands, and in clear weather should be seen from a distance of 9 miles.
*The illuminating apparatus is catoptric, or by reflectors.
The building is of granite, 42 feet from base to vane, and painted white. Position as given, lat. 4° 3("′ 48′′ S., long. 55° 31′ E.
The same authority has also notified that a fixed red light is shown towards the anchorage in the Inner harbour at Port Victoria.
Directions.-A vessel entering St. Anne's road at night when about 3 cables distant from the north-west point of St. Anne's island, should steer S. W., observing to keep the light-house between the bearings of S. W. by W. and S. W. by W. W., until the south point of St. Anne's island bears E. S. E.; thence a S. W. S. course to the anchorage with the light bearing from W. by S. 2 S. to W. by S. At this position, the channel into the Inner harbour will be open, but at night should never be attempted by strangers without the aid of a pilot.
At the entrance to the Port, moorings are laid N. 55° E. 34 cables from the light-house for the Steamers of the Messageries Maritimes, with an iron buoy, painted red, to support the bridles. Caution therefore is necessary in anchoring near the vicinity of this buoy, which should have a berth of half a cable to avoid fouling the moorings, the anchors of which are placed nearly east and west.
[All Bearings are Magnetic. Variation 4° 40′ W.]'
