The Pilot St►tion for the River llooghly, in the South-Wm

East India House, London, Oot. 10, 1819,
Experience of the new pilot station off the south
Channel having estsbished that it can be made by Teasels
from False Point with the greatest facility, and that pilot%
can also be readily supplied, and the same causes minis;
which originally rendered necessary the ramoval a' the pilot
station from off Point Palmyras to a position about 15 Tan
S. W. by W. of the Outer Floating Light in lat. 20 deg. 66
N. long. 88 deg. 03 m. E., and in from 17 to 22 fathoms
water, notice is hereby given, that this latter station will is
future be continued during the S.W. monsoon, viz, from the
15th March to the 15 h Sept.
No difficulty can possibly be felt in pasting from Palm
Point to the present station, if common attention he paid to
the lead and to the following directions prepared by Captsia
Lloyd, late Officiating Marine Surveyor•Oenerel, after a
careful survey of the ground between the two points
Faits Paint Lighthouse is in let. 20 deg. 191 min. N.,
and long. 86 deg. 47 Mill. E., and the Souls Channel BUy

Honghly deposit, which is sand and mud, with 'his*
specks), is a gravelly substance composed of sand, shells, ell
small pebbles discharged from the Hunks, and other rius
near Point Palmyras, the lighter material of which, b•isg
carried falba out, is deposited, and terms what is called the
Pilot's Ridge, which, in crossing to the N.W , shows a little
less water than on either side. In coming from seaward, yoe
shoal rather suddenly, from 28 to 23 fathoms upon its castes
edge. It is composed at a shelly sand or minute gravel, of
a reddish or rusty brown colour.
The best guide, therefore, to enable a vessel to direct
her course from False Point to the pilot vessels of
the present station, will be to run down the edge of the
pilot's ridge, which can readily be done by making the light.

W., distant, by computation, from 10 to 15 miles, then stew-
ing to the E.N.E.' and having gradually increased the depth
of water to 23 fathoms upon the eastern edge of the ridge,
regulate the course to keep between it and 27 fathoms,
when, by attention to the lead end nature of the soundings,
course, and distance run from the light-house, it is slmot
impossible to miss the pilot vessels (if the above limits an
kept within), either by getting too far to windward or felling
to leeward, for the 'muscling* increase so rapidly to seaward
from the present etation,that 28 Whoms will not be more
than three or tour miles to the southward of it, and 23
fathoms the same distance to the westward of it.

The soundings to seaward of the ridge are in gement a
greenish or olive.coioured mud, with occasionally a few bits
of broken shells mimed with it."•

Vessels approaching the station during the day an is.
quired to chow the usual signal for a pihr, and by night to
give as early and as much warning as possible by tiring gum
burning blue lights, and by exhibiting two hsthte in a rem.
tical pontion, where b at eel ; but commanders are strictly
enjoined to avoid u much as possible making the nation
during the night.
Ships have been lost from running for the station in dark,
or threatening, or actually bad weather. In such weather
the pilot vessels cannot be made out, and, if fallen in with,
cannot board the inward-bound vessel, nor could the pilot
take her in if he was on board. No advantage, then, is
gained by attempting to get a pilot in such weather, while
the danger is imminent. It is strongly recommended, there-
fore, to commanders, under such circumstances, to put their
ships under sang canvas, while well out in deep water, and
keep to sea.
Tn mark the station mete of the pilot vewela will show,
during the day, a large St. George's Jack (white with red
crop) at the main topgallant mast bead, and a good mast
head light during the night, and will burn a blue light and
a maroon alternately every halt hour, and fire a gun eel&
p.m. at midnight, and at 4a m. Vessels approaching the
station, and while there, as well as when approaching tits
light and buoy Station vessels, are warned to be careful is
avoiding collision by night or by day ; and in communicant'
with either of the above vessels, either at anchor or hove to,
when it is necessary to crow her, to pass under the stem;
several instances of serious damage having occurred during
the S.W. monsoon, whereby the outer floating-light was
more than once compelled to leave her station for repairs, to
the great inconvenience and rick of vessels enterlog and
quitting the river.—By order of the Superintendent or Ma-
rine, JAB SUTHERLAND, Secretary.—Fort William, 18th
August, 1848.
Published by order of the Court of Directors of the Bast
India Company.—JartEs C. MELTILL, Secretary.

• The only alteration made in the above admirable directions d
Captain Lloyd is that of substituting the eapreasiem " pmsent sta.
tion" for " proposed new station," which, as more than tire pee
have elapsed knee the change so indicated was adopted, might adt*
lead.—J. d.
♦ The light vessels are directed, when another vessel is apple&
ing during the night, to chow a light at the gaff end, to mark thews:
they are riding.
