NOTICE TO MARINERS
POINT LONSDALE LIGHT. Commanders of vessels, pilots, and others navigating the entranco to Port Phillip, are hereby informed that the temporary fixed red and green light on Point Lonsdale will, on and after tho 25th instant, be discontinued, and a light of the same character, but of more power and range, will be exhibited from sunßet to sunrise from the lighthouse near the Point Lonsdale telegraph station. This light will be seen teu (10) miles off in ordinary weather, appearing green bef^cn ««» boring of about TT. by VPV and N.W. i W.; and red between tho bearings of about N.W. i W. and W. by S.
From these bearings navigators will observe that the N.W. i W. line passes near the Lonsdale and Lightning rocks ; they must therefore be on their guard before the colors begin to change, as the blending of the red and green lights will indicate close vicinity to tho line which passes from the lighthouse over these dangers.
Chables Ferguson, Chief Harbor Master, Department of Ports and Harbors, Melbourne, February 15,1867.
