CAUTION. CAPE NOMO-Near Nagasaki. The mistaking of this cape for the South point of Kabasima having led to the wreck of the Satsuma steamer, notice is given that a large ninepin rock lies two cables off the extremity of the cape which is surrounded by a small low detached rocks, most of which cover. Off Kabasima, the rocks are compact and shelving with a single outlying rock awash. There need therefore be no difficulty as to identity in the thickest weather.
