It is now officially announced that owing to the nature oi the locality, soundings within one mill of the northern shore of the Spit may be expected to vary considerably frou those shown on the charts, and vessels rounding tho Spit against adverse winds should make frequent use of tho lead or tho inshore tack, and go about wher the first shoal cast is obtained.
