400 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23RD SEPTEMBER, 1876.
NOTICE TO MARINERS
SOUTH-EAST COAST.-PORT MACDONNELL.
Notice is hereby given, that in consequence of several vessels having been wrecked between Cape Northumberland Lighthouse and the south end of Rivoli Bay, the following marks should be carefully attended to. In the Australian Directory, 1868, published by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, the directions are that vessels approaching Cape Northumberland from the north-westward should never sight the red or white light on a bearing more southerly than east half south, and on seeing the green light should immediately alter the course more southward, so as to give a good berth to the outlying reefs westward of the Cape, which run parallel with and extend one mile from the shore.
Vessels from the eastward should not bring the white or red light to bear to the westward of west-north-west; and when the green light becomes visible on that bearing should steer more southerly, in order to give a wide berth to the reef, which stretches to the eastward from Cape Northumberland.
In bad whether with the wind hanging from the southward, it will be advisable to keep Cape Northumberland at such a distance as will enable a vessel to pass the lighthouse without seeing the green light; and should the weather be thick or it be blowing hard, it will be prudent not to sight the red light, which under such circumstance will not be seen at the former distance.
The coast north-westward of Cape Northumberland is low, and owing to the heavy ocean swell-which sets directly on shore should be very carefully avoided.
An eddy current to the northward has sometimes been experienced within ten or twelve miles of the land, between Cape Northumberland and Lacepede Bay, apparently occasioned by a current which Captain Flinders found in the middle of April setting toward the Cape from the W.S.W. at the rate of (half) a knot.
Captain Douglas in his survey of this part of the coast does not mention the existence of a current, but cautions navigators to give the coast a wide berth, owing to the heavy ocean swell which sets directly in shore, and should be carefully avoided.
In the report of the Commissioners appointed by His Excellency the Governor-in-Chief to inquire into the circumstances connected with the wreck of the steamship Admella, it is stated that the loss of the Admella is to be attributed chiefly to the effects of a current which appears to have been setting towards the coast between Capes Willoughby and Northumberland on the 5th and 6th August, 1859.
Captain King, of the P. & O. steamer Bombay, on or about the same date in a letter to the Commissioners, states that between Cape Jaffa and Cape Northumberland he found a current setting strong towards the land, and he considered it as much as fifteen miles in an easterly direction in the run between the two Capes.
On one occasion, in the Government schooner Flinders, after taking shelter from a S.S.W. gale in the S. end of Rivoli Bay, in August, 1872, the wind falling light and veering to the eastward, tripped the anchor and stood out to the W.S.W. for five or six miles, when it fell calm; found a current setting the schooner E.N.E. nearly one and a half miles an hour. Fortunately the wind freshened, and he got away from this dangerous coast. The master of the schooner informed me that he often felt a current setting towards the land.
A vessel off the coast between Cape Jaffa and Cape Northumberland, when in soundings of forty-five fathoms and upwards is in a position of safety. It is therefore recommended that masters of vessels during night in thick weather, or in doubt, should verify their position by sounding,
