The Hongkong Government Gazette.
FIFTH-The three poles on the inner angle of the stone fortification on the right or Northernmost bank at Wúsung, used as lea marks for the entrance of Wúsung river, are to be replaced by three new ones each sixty feet high. The two rear ones are to have crow, nests built around them, and will be painted red. The pole in front will be shorter than the other two, and have on its top a bull's eye or target, and will be painted white.
and
The white pole between the two red poles is the leading mark for entering the Wúsung river.
SIXTH-Eight iron first class buoys have been ordered from England. When received I would recommend their being placed in.equat numbers alternatingly, along the inner edge of the North Bank upon its most projecting points, to be hereafter determined by sounding
upon the Northernmost projecting points of the South shore bank. It may be well to place one of these buoys or the Refuge b beacon invented by Captain George Peacock, R. N., which is admirably adapted to this position as channel buoy, “Gutzlaff bearing So fifteen miles," and one or more small buoys to mark the middle ground in the Wúsung river: Cask buoys would be all-sufficient for th last purpose.
I would recommend that all these buoys should be numbered and painted according to the following rules, which are those adopted for all buoys on the coast of the United States, by Law of Congress, and are I believe those recognized and sanctioned by the universal usage of all the principal maritime nations, viz: "In entering a harbor from seaward, Channel Buoys with black and white pendicular stripes may be passed close on either hand. Buoys with red and black borizontal stripes are on obstructions, with channels un either side of them, and may be left on either hand in passing. Red Buoys with even numbers should be left on the starboard hand Black Buoys with odd numbers should be left on the port hand.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully, &c., your obedient servant,
To ROBERT C. MURPHY, Esq., U. S. Consul; Shanghai.
