Colonial Secretary's Office, Auckland, Ith March, 1842. IS Excellency the Governor has been pleased to direct the publication of the following *' Notice to Mariners," having reference to the approaches to Auckland by Sea, through the Eastern passages, submitted for general information by the Harbour Master of this Port. By ttis Excellency's Command, WILLOUGHBY SHORTLAND. NOTICE TO MARINERS. Harbour Masters Office^ Auckland, sth Mdrchi 1842. Between Mutu Tapu and Waiheke islands, and on either side of Mutu Hea, there is a good passage with deep water; care must, however, be taken not to approach too near to the N. W. end. of Mutu Hea, from whence a reef runs out about a quarter of a mile. In working along the south side of the Island of Rangitoto, the lead should be kept going, and vessels should not shoal less than three and a half fathoms. There is no passage between Mutu Korea and the Eastern Head of the Tamaki River, for any but very small craft. Along the south side of-Waiheke there is a good passage in from four to six fathoms water, the opposite shore is shoal, and in standing towards it the lead should be carefully attended to. Between the eastern side of the' Waiheke, and the islands Paroa, Te Roteroa, and Pa Ratu, there is a good passage, with deep water; vessels should keep nearest the Waiheke shore, and not approach the islands under sjx fathoms, to avoid some rocky patches near them. Care should also be taken to avoid a small sand bank (underwater) lying about a mile off the Waiheke shore near the southern entrance of the passage, and almost abreast of a settlement occupied by Mr. Graham. Between Paroa and Pakia islands there is not a good passage, but small vessels, with a leading wind, may pass through by keeping very close to the Paroa shore in three and four fathoms, to avoid a Gravel Spit, which stretches from the north end of Pakia in a N.N, E. direction nearly across the passage. DAVID ROUGH, Haibom Master.
