NOTICE TO MASTERS OF VESSELS FREQUENTING THE PORT OF INVERCARGILL. nPHE following directions will lead Masters of coasters, inwards, over the Bar in smoother water than by the course used for some time back. Bring the high Leading Beacon to appear open to the southward of the low Beacon (winch will lead a little inshore of the line of the Beacons), and continue on this course until nearly up to the low or outer Beacon. The shore is bold at this part, and the Beacon may be "neared" to within twenty fathoms in passing. - Off this Beacon is moored a white Buoy, which must be kept on the starboard side, and from the white Buoy steer for the Green Buoy, moored off the wreck of the " Oscar." Keep on the seaward side of the " Oscar " wreck Buoy, and when past it the water will suddenly deepen. In approaching the wreck Buoy, due allowance must be made for the set of the tide, particularly in light winds, as the flood would set the vessel I towards the wreck. The two Channel Buoys, moored in the Blind Channel in four fathoms — which will then be a short distance ahead, may be passed on either side. These Buoys were formerly painted white, but the best water being now on the South East, or inshore side of them, they have been painted Black, and are therefore intended to be kept on the port Land coaxing in. The shallowest water to be found on any part of the route described is between the white Buoy off the Beacon, and the Oscar wreck Buoy. The depth there is eight feefc at low water, I>ut it is gradually increasing. From the upper Blind Channel Buoy the usual course up the Harbor may fee pursued. J. B. GREIG, Harbor Master.
