The tower, which is stowed out from a base to the west, abands twenty-five yards south from the Donkin Monument. Cautions.—At it is possible that, in consequence of its elozation, this light may see the ocean's atmosphere by vessels from the eastward before the revolving light on Cape Reco, carefully should be taken not to bring it to the southward of west until Cape Beattie, clearly distinguished, which it will be immediately it is above the horizon, by its greater brilliance, as well as by its revolving once a minute. A vessel steaming a north-west-east course, after moving Cape Reco, as above directed, will dig the harbor light beazing east-west, showing red. This time lead about 14 cables northward of the Roman wreck. She should then stand on (taking care not to open the red light of Cape Reco) until she opens the white light bearing north-west by west, when, with a fair wind, she may steer directly for the light; or, with a contrary wind, she may heal up and work to windward for the anchorage, taking care to tack to the southward directly she opens the colored light. A vessel coming from the eastward has only to steer directly for the white light, which will be visible between the bearing of north-west by west and south-west. The lighthouse is a stone tower, painted With alter-py west, Pate horsoatal wisite ead red bands. It exhibits from sunset to sunrise throughout the year a white light, reveling once in a minute; and, being 90 feet above the sea-level, is visible from seaward in clear weather about 15 miles, when it bears between E. and S.W. 4 8., that is inclining 20 points of the horizon, but within the bay, between the bearings of S.W. 43. and S.W., it shows red, to ware ships of too near approach to the Diapatch or Roman Rock. Thunderbolt Reef.—This dangerous detached reef lies about three quarters of a mile southwest by south of the pitch of the cape, and the sea very generally breaks heavily upon the jagged reefs of which it is composed, which are often plainly seen; but at high water, and in fine weather, this may not occur. There is a decided amount towards this reef and the pitch of the cape, and no sailing vessel should attempt to approach either (except with a commanding bracze) within the distance of the or two end a half miles. It has received its voyage from Her Majesty's Steam Vessel Thenderberg, which struck upon the N.E. edge in attempting to go between it and the cape in fine and clear weather, and with difficulty reached the beach of Port Elizabeth, where she sank, and her wreck still remains. The soundings about the cape and reef decrease very suddenly from ten fathoms, and if there be any doubt as to the exact distance off shore, a steamer would slacken speed, 90 to equal accurate soundings in rounding. The cape, and not go into less than twelve fathoms, by night or day. At Night.—In coming from the westward, a vessel should take the light, being to the southward of east; but should she from any cause have fallen to the northward, she must before arriving within five miles of the light has out till it bears east, when an E.S.E. course may be steered till the light bears N. by W., then B.N.E. till 8 hours N.W., after which the course may be altered to N.N.E., taking care not to bring the light to the southward of W. until the harbor light be opened. Until the Cape Recif light is brought on, a N.W. harbor, a depth not less than 12 fathoms should be maintained, and the vessel should go sufficiently for this purpose. On the other hand, the Cape Recif should be taken at Cape Recif—A strong indraught will often be felt after passing Cape Recif and the Tharber Reef, and allowance must be made for it in shaping the course either inside or outside the Dispatch Rock, particularly for the former, as solid ground stretches out a long way off shore, between the Cape Recif between and the Point, and it has occurred that sailing vessels, by not allowing for indracht, have gotten on shore. Marks for Dispatch or Roman Roast.—The least water found on this dangerous patch is eight feet. It is steep to the east, but should not be approached within two cables length to the west and the north-west. When on the shoalest part the Cape Recif beacon is on with the center of the Lighthouse, and the two beacons abreast of the rock are in one. The red buoy formerly moored near this rock having been washed away, and the beacons on shore farnishing a sufficient guide; it has not been thought advisable to renew the buoy. After rounding Cape Reef at the distance and with the precautions as to depth above mentioned, the Cape Reef beacon will be first seen (if it has not been made before, and shortly afterwards the two beacons; these lie west 2° south and east 2° north, six tenths of a mile from each other. They are of stone, twenty-five feet high, painted in alternate bands of red, and white, surmounted by a ball. The Cape Reef beacon is similar in all respects. Inside the Dispatch Reef.—There is seldom an advantage gained in passing between the Dispatch Rock and the mainland, and no large ship should attempt it; but if a fine weather, or under any necessity, the route we chosen, steer as follows: Having brought the lighthouse, as before, to bear north-west, and approached it on that bearing to a distance of one and a half miles, in fourteen fathoms water, steer north for about two and a half miles (paying attention to indraught), when look out to open the Cape Reef beacon to the east of the lighthouse and to keep it open. These marks, except in that way, will carry you to the west of the Dippatch or Roman Reef, the least depth being six fathoms. Having brought the two beacons in one, and again opened them some distance on the other side, steer for the anchorage off the towa, taking care not to approach Beacon Point (which is low and sandy, and terminates in rogged rocks) nearer than a quarter of a mile. Strutt's Reef, with 15 feet water at low spring tides, covers an area of about 50 square yards, and lies to the southward of the southernmost part of the anchorage ground, and three cables from the nearest land, with the following marks and bearings: — Waterpipe and Reservoir House in line with the two seuthenmoor houses of the town, W. 3½ N. 34 cables. Scotch Charch Spire in line with the S&qu Tower of St. Mary's Charch, N.W. Bird Rock, S.8.E. Harbour Light, N.W. 4 W. To clear this reef do not shut in the tower of the Mosque (which is red) with the north end of the Breakwater, nor open the tower of the Grey Institute to the south-westward of the Harbour Lighthouse, in approaching or leaving the anchorage, which will lead clear in not less than 25 feet water at lowest springs. Anchorage off Port Elizabeth—An inner anchorage off the town and beach of Port Elizabeth, in about six fathoms, with a bottom of grey sand over clay, may be taken up; the south-east angle of Fort Frederick bearing west 3 north, and the Bird Rock (Beacen Point) south 3 east. Azater one, equally good for large vessels, in sight fathoms, similar bottom, with the above subjects bearing respectively west and south by west. Port Captain determines the berths for merchant vessels, and ships of war need only take the precaution in the summer seago. When east and south-east gales may be expected, to anchor with plenty of room to veer, The holding ground is good, and, with the ordinary ground tackle of ships of war, there is no danger in riding out these gales. Landing at Port Elizabeth.—Under the seal of the Breakwater there is landing for boats in almost all weathers, but care must be taken not to cross a bar which has formed between the north end of the Breakwater (upon which the sea at times breaks dangerously) and the end of the Port Elizabeth jetty. Boats should pass, between the north red sky of the jetty and the jetty end before steering for the Breakwater stairs. A green light will shortly be shown at the Port Elizabeth jetty and, as a guide to boats landing during the night. Water and refreshments are easily procured at Port Elizabeth at moderate prices, and leaky and dismasted ships are sometimes hove down, repaired, and refitted at their anchorage off the town. It is the practice of merchant vessels regularly trading there for Wool cargoes to moor on avrivel, and to strike their topgallant masts and unbend their sails. They are found with ground tackle superior to ordinary merchant vessels, a boat in safety the second gelesen M dia! Recently used for a temporary stopping place in St. Croix Island was so named by Barthel the first European who landed upon it. It is said that the sealers when in search of seals, which frequent the Tolan, on the east side of the Island, in ten or twelve rating some or two vessels during N.W. gales, etc., are without wine wine wine by south from the Cape Recif lighthouse. It is named after its first, the maser from merchant vessels, who never heard of it, having been there in 1812. Although not exactly dangerous, it is said to be dangerous. Safe navigation of the bay, it should be stated that it was; existence had been for many years disbelieved, until a sudden swell prevailed, the effect of a previous gale from the south-west. The Aydra subsequently anchored upon it in ten fathoms, and lost the anchor and chain. It is about a mile in extent, and composed of foul ground, carrying from six to ten and fifteen fathoms of water. Winds and Weather.—Koblerly and soulbeast might, which alone are to be apprehended in Algoa Bay, occur in the summer months, from October to April; the worst usually happening during those two months, that is at the commencement and close of the season. In the remainder of the year, the wind seldom or never blows from these quarters, except in rare instances, where what is called a black south-easter comes on, with min and thick weather, of which the appearance of the weather and sea-gives sufficient warning. The approach of the summer gales is to ascertain. ‘extent fereteld by the irregular oscillations of the barometer, which, although constantly high in comparison to what it would be under similar circumstances in westerly winds, falls before the increase of wind and damp cold air prevails, and these is a constant having appearance about the horizon, the upper part of the sky remaining clear, When the Port Office, where a barometer is kept, signals to prepare for foul weather, sailing vessels with doubtful ground tackle should get under way, making their first tack towards St. Croix Leland. With the gale at its height, a heavy breaking sea is seen in, but it has been observed that with plenty of cable ships ride easily; and from the strong eddy current with prevails near the shore during these gales, it is probable that a powerful undertow assists to relieve the strain by oblique action off shore. Tides. —The tides are often irregular, being scied. Upon by the wind; their highest rise is about five feet, and the surface atmosphere is warm in direction, and inappreciable. Passage inside the Di: Rock by Night is strongly recommended that no vessel should attempt to pass to the west of the Di: Rock by night, as the soundings are irregular, and no directions that may be given wish that view could be incurred. The Cogst.—From the Sunday's River eastward to coast is furnished by an unknown observer of the sea, which extends inland 1 mile to 1 miles. Many of the hills rise to the height of 350 to 450 feet above the sea, and are quite bare. The first break in this undy feature of the sea occurs at Woody Cape, 22 miles from the Sea of: River, and N.N.E. 5, nearky 5 miles parts as Island lighthouse. At this spot the sand-hills covered with dark bushes; they present to, to a series of decayed sandstove cliffs, froated by a ragged rock, which extends along shore for two miles. The sand-hills are again seen with that sea high nor so bare as those to the west: reach as far as 28 Point Padrone, which is so encircling, similar to the S.S. A. Woody Cape, with a rock and shingle. Serer the whole extent of coast included as a the Sunday’s River and Point Padras as a menotony in the appearance of the land. At est the sea-bills the country rises into lofty are 1,000 to 1,900 feet above the Fog me and dense forest jangle intermixed; but there remarkable or other objects to distinguish as a part of the coast. Point, Padreeme is only remarkable from a point in shore; the cliffs are then seen, but from a ward it is most prominent, and can be re by the wooded sand-bills which stand in over it. Point, Padreeme is also difficult of seaward, as there is nothing remarkable on until well in with the shore, either wacky, or it, when the cliffs are seen. A bed affords which, at times, the sea breaks with great fat, to Gea Ward's nearly a mile from it. About 2 at cain st ie e follow of the rocks after rain. " uild cui bold co rad Aer, this.
