THE FOXTON BAR.
HARBOUR MASTER'S REPORT. The following is the Harbourmaster’s report on the local bar for the month of December. — “ The bar has gone to the northward and is not so good, there being only seven feet of water at higlj water neap tides and ten feet at high water spring tides. The south spit has made out a long * way and run the channel down the north side. There has been no alteration in the channel of the river and there is good water right up with the exception of Robinson’s bend which is rather bad at neap tides, but there is plenty of water at springs. The masters of vessels have complained of being unable to pick up the beacons at the flagstaff on account of sand hills on the lower beach, so two new beacons have been erected down in the sand hills. During the mouth eighteen vessels crossed inwards and outwa'fsd.”
