Fixed Light on Cape Pembroke. The Colonial Government at the Falkland Islands has given notice that a Fixed Light of the natural colour was established on Cape Pembroke, on the Ist of December last (1855.) The Light stands at a height of 110 feet above the mean level of the sea, and is visible in ordinary weather at a distance of 14 miles. It shows a bright fixed light in every direction seaward, but is dark towards Port William, between the bearings of N.W. 1 N. and West. lhe tower is GO feet high, it is circular, and of iron, and at present painted black.* It stands in Lat. 50° 40* 42" S, 58° 41' 48” West of Greenwich. The illuminating apparatus is catoptric, or reflecting, and of the first order. Cape Pembroke, on which a beacon has hitherto stood, forms the Easternmost point of the Falkland group, and also the South headland of Port William, within which, on its south side, is Stanley Harbour. From the Uranie Rock (which lies east one mile from the outer rock off Volunteer Point,) the lighthouse bears S. 13° E. or S. by E. j E. nearly, distant 9£ miles. From the centre of the large Wolfe rock to the Southward, the lighthouse bears N. 7° E. A vessel entering Port William will leave the Light on the Port hand ; and the Master should be careful to observe that as the flood tide sets strongly to the Northward, and the ebb to the Southward, in passing Cape Pembroke, he should not pass between this Cape and the Seal rocks (which lie N.E. of it about J mile) unless the ship is under steam or has a good commanding breeze ; in light winds or much swell It is better to pass outside. (All bearings are magnetic, variation 16j° E. in 1856.) By command of their Lordships, John Washington, Hydrographer. Hydrographic Office, Admiralty, London, Sth February, 1850. _ Stanley is a Free Port. Good water, fresh provisions, vegetables, and supplies of all sorts are procurable. Ships can also be repaired. . • In another part ef the Chart, from which the above notice is extracted, the tower is stated to be painted in white and red lands.
