The above light is not visible from the Aliwal Shoal, which is 25 miles S., 53° W.; from the Lighthouse: vessels should not, therefore, when coming from the southward and westward, approach the shore nearer than 4 miles, or shoal their water under 40 fathoms, using the lead freely until they make the light well out from the deck, when they may stand in until it bears N. 59° E.,-which bearing will keep them outside all known danger-until they are abreast of the Umlazi River (about 9 miles below the Lighthouse), when they must keep it more to the northward, as the land trends more to the eastward, giving the shore a good berth of a mile, and when the light bears about W.N.W., they can haul in to the northward for the anchorage: anchoring in 8 to 10 fathoms, with the Lighthouse bearing S.W. to S.W.S., distant 1 mile.
W. E. ARCHDEACON, Master R.N., Admiralty Surveyor.
