As the vessel has a very, large cargo for the northern port she is not expected to arrive at Wellington before Thursday next. THE AOKANGI. When tho Aorangi was withdrawn from tlio San Francisco service on -arrival at Sydney on August 21. it .was generally understood that after tho vessel had been thoroughly overhauled she would be employed In tho Intercolonial. service. This prediction has proved incorrect, for tho Union Company has dccided to again cmploy the Aorangi in the Sydnoy-Wellington-Ban Francisco trado. Tho chartered steainor Willochra, noiv relieving tho Aorangi, will bo withdrawn on arrival at Sydney on November 11, it having been deemed Edvlsablo to engage this largo steamer in the intercolonial service during the_pross of the summer season. The Aorangi is'to resume on November 29, when sho is eched- . ule-d to sail from Sydney for Wcllingt-on and Sari' Francisco. The vessel is due here on December 4 • MESS-TABLE GpSSIP.

Tho Wellington Harbour Board has notified tho Marino Department that tho stranded steamer De\on as sho now lies at l'enoarrow Head obstructs tho view of tho lew-level liglit, and the hull at night alters tho appearance of tho land at that poiut, constituting a danger to navigation. 1 , Tto low-lovcl light is obscuredif rom seaward by tho wreck of the Devon between the bearings of, 4 deg. (N. 20 dcg. E.. magnetic) and 18 des. 1 (N. 34 deg. E. magnetic). Charts, etc., affected: Admiralty- Charts Nos. 696, 2054, *3555, and 1423; "New Zealand Pilot," eighth edition, 1908, Chapter v.'page 140. ' The Bluff Harbour Board lias notified the Marine Department that the beacons Nos. 1. 2, and 3 -were wrongly placed on tho Admiralty Charts previous to date October, 1912. . No. 1 beacon (red pile) on tho new chart has been plotted 50 yards 98 deg. (S. 64 dog. E. magnetic) of the position ae> previously shown on the older chart; No. 2 beacon (red pile) 23 yards 36 deg. (N. 54 deg. E. magnetic), and No. 3 beacon (red, pile) 259 deg. (N. 83 dez. W. magnetic) of the position as previously shown. All three bo'aoons are efurmounted by 4 Utfwatched white fixed lights. The light on lislitrship is -also an unwatchcd light. Charts, etc.. affected: Admiralty Charts Nos. 2540 nnd 3404; "New Zealand* Pilot,, eighth edition,' 19C8, Chapter 272. Attention of shipmasters ia drawn in the "Gazette" to di6crcpanciea in both latitude and longitude between points of connection of Sheets I and 11, Nos. 2525 and 2543, of the New Zealand Cqast Charts, also in the longitude between Sheets 111 ana IV, Nos. 2527 and' 2528. Charts Nos. 2543 and 2527 (also included in the same sheets but on a larger 6Cale)., Nos. 1998, 3565, 3436, and 3500, are new survey charts by H.M.S. Penguin since 1903. Tho other Bheet charts of tho New Zealand coast aro mostly from surveys made between tho years 1849 and 1055 by 11 .M.S. Ancheron and H.M.S. Pandora. A large portion .of the. West Coast was only partially surveyed by what ia termed a running survey. In tho survey made by H.M.S. Penguin the official longitude of tho Dominion lias been adopted; whereas all the other coast charts still keep to the lonijitude based on tlio determination of a few years back. In transferring positions or courses from one chart to another, therefore, it. Is advisable to plot the bcarins and dlstanco from &ome poiut of land, Tatter than to use the actual latitude and longitudo given on the chart. The Auckland Harbour Board has notified tho Marine Department that on and after Monday, October 6, 1913, distinguishing lights on the Harbour wharves will bo exhibited as Jfollow:— Centre of end of Queens Wharf: Threo red lighto vertirally over one another. Centre of end of Hob«on Whatf: Threo green lights vcrticoll'- over one dnothcr. Centre of end of Fern" Jetty:- Orcen, oranee, and red vertically over one anCsntre of end of Northern Wharf: Bed, orange, and orango vertically over one another. in each case the lowest of theso Hf?hts will bo 26ft. above H.W.S.T., "nd the ligM-j will he nlnced ift. aiwrt. \Tho lljhts will be of ICO cnudle-uower. , Chart* etc.. !>nvcte<l: Admlralt-v nbarto Nos. 1895 nnd 1970: "New Zealand Pile'." eighth edition, 1908, Chapter 11, page 38.
