White ... From S. by E.fE. to S.W. by S.*S. Red Prom S.W. by S.±S. to S.W.JS. The light will be about 27 feet above high water, and should be visible, in clear weather, about 9 nautical miles, allowing 10 feet for the height of the observer's eye. The Pania Rock is in the centre of the south-western red light, which will be seen one quarter of a mile (Dautical) on each side of the rock. Vessels approaching from the northward should keep in the white light. Masters of vessels coming from the southward will find this light no guide for them, and must use all precautious as heretofore to avoid the rocky patch called the Auckland Rock, which has only 14 feet on some portions of it at low water springs. This patch extends at least one cable to the southward of the black buoy which is moored off the northern edge of the patch, and which lies in of fathoms at low water springs. All bearings are magnetic.
