NOTICE.
The following notice has been issued from the Harbor Master's office : — " To Masters of Vessels Bound to iNvEncAHGHLii. — Masters of vessels are hereby cautioned not to run over the Bar without a pilot, as the channel inside has now become too narrow to round a vessel to in, to come to anchor, and about a mile above the Pilot Station it is almost impassable even at high water. When practicable, a vessel should be kept so near to Steep Head that any signals (Marry at' s), shown on the Flagstaff there, could be seen on board ; and the master is requested to observe particularly any such signals, and be guided by them. The new channel, made mention of lately in the Invercargill newspap ers, has been buoyed, and would at present admit vessels drawing eighteen feet to pass tlirough it with safety, but only in charge of a pilot, and no directions can here be given for sailing thi-ough this channel, but it is hoped that it will continue available until the proper channel opens out, the changes towards which are daily observable. (Signed) J. B. G-reig. Harbor Master. Harbor Master's Office, Invercargill, 18th August, 186-i."
