The Light can be seen in clear weather in any direction East and North West by West, at the distance of six leagues from a deck 15 feet high. It is a ivhite Light. All the bearings mentioned are Magnetic, and all the distances expressed in miles are Geographical, unless the contrary is stated. If a vessel from the Eastward passes Strays' Point at the distance of five miles'from the shore, and steers a W. by S. course exactly, she will pass the most Southerly projection of the Northumberland point reef at a distance of 5£ miles, and clear Gunner's Quoin. This is the limit Northward within which no sailing vessel should be found. It secures every advantage that could possibly be obtained by a closer course and at that distance the Light will be brilliant. Precautions. —ln clear weather the Light may be seen, when 5 or C miles Eastward of Strays Point, from a look-out at the height of 35 feet; and if the vessel then should chance to be close in shore, by steering the above course, she might touch the shoal off Strays Point. To guaid against this when the Light is first seen, it should be brought immediately to bear W. N.; and keeping this bearing of the Light, the vessel will pass 2 miles to the Southward of any danger respecting Strays' Point. Coming from the Westward, the Light will be seen first en a S. 57° 15' E. bearing. The extreme end of the low ground called Gunner's Quoin Point bears N. 57° SO' W. from the Light House, distant 19J- miles, but is not visible from it. The sea was remarked breaking a long way off the Point, —it will therefore be necessary to keep off until the Light becomes visible.— Commercial Advertiser Pec. 22.
