NOTICE.
H. G. THOMSETT, Harbour Master, &c.
The Iron Beacon off Messrs. BURROWS' Wharf, Wanchai, has been removed and replaced by two white Conical Buoys, each one marked ROCKS.
In a direct line between these two Buoys is a pinnacle rock with only one foot of water on it at low water springs; House-boats, &c., will therefore do well habitually to avoid passing between the Buoys, and to keep either outside or well inside of both of them.
