GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.
At the request of the Government of Mauritius the following Notice, announcing the intention of exhibiting, from the 24th May next, at the entrance of Port Louis Harbor, a Floating Light, instead of the present Harbor Lights, is published for the information of Mariners and others whom it may
concern.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 6th February, 1867.
W. T. MERCER, Colonial Secretary.
NOTICE.
On the 24th of May 1867, the Harbour Lights at the Entrance of Port Louis, Mauritius, will be done away with, and a Floating Light at the Bell Buoy Anchorage will be substituted.
The Floating Light Vessel will be moored a little to the N. Wrd. of the present well known Bell Buoy, with the following bearings:
Extreme of land to the Northward: N.E.bN.
Extreme of land to the Westward: W.S.W.
Flagstaff on Fort George S.E. ¿S.
Depth of Water: 15 fathoms.
The Light Vessel will be painted white, which will enable her to be distinctly seen against the dark land during the day. She will shew a "flashing white Light" from Sunset to Sunrise, which will be visible a distance of 9 miles in every direction from Seaward, from the poop of a large vessel.
The fact of this being a flashing Light, at short intervals, will sufficiently distinguish it from the Revolving Light at Flat Island, even were a mistake possible.
Vessels from the Northward, after rounding Cannonier Point, must be careful not to bring Cannonier Point Light to the Westward of Flat Island Light, till the Floating Light at the Bell Buoy is seen; they may then steer for the latter, on a S.S.W.W. bearing, and anchor on that bearing, from a mile to a mile from the Light.
Vessels approaching the Point from the Westward, may steer for the Floating Light on an E.bN.IN. bearing, and either anchora mile from her on that bearing, or further to the Northward as convenient.
The Mooring Chain of the Floating Light runs about 150 fathoms in a N.N.W. direction, Vessels must therefore be anchored in such a manner as to avoid hooking it.
The depths at the anchorage vary from 12 to 20 fathoms.
All the bearings are Compass bearings.
Port Office, 14th December, 1866.
D. WALES,
Harbour Master.
