NOTICE TO MARINERS.

JAMES BOOTH

(Translation.)
In the middle of the next year the tuns of the Old
Weser Channel, which are more clearly specified under IV.,
will be taken up. On the other hand, the buoys to be laid
down in the New Weser Channel, for the purpose of facili-
tating the entrance into the mouth, will be stationed as
-follows :
I. Instead of the four red and two white buoy tuns at
present lying in the New Channel, towards the middle of
the year 1854 six red and • five white tuns are to be sta-
tioned. -The red tuns situated on entering, on the star-
board side; will retain the buoy form as hitherto ; whereas
the white tuns situated on the larboard side will have the
form of the usual Weser tuns.
(a.) The first red tun of the North Weser mouth will
then lie in the same direction as the present black key tun,
from Wa,ngeroog, but nearer the island, in nine fathoms
water, and be distinguished by a golden key.
(b.) The second red tun, marked A, will bear S.W. by
W. W. of the Wangeroog Town, and bear a golden pear
as mark of distinction.
(c.) The third red tun, marked B, will bear W.S.W.
W. of the Wangeroog Town, and bear a round basket as
mark of distinction.
(d.) The fourth red tun, marked C, comes in the place
of the present red tun, No. 1, but will be distinguishable
by a golden cross, instead of the present round basket.
(e.) The fifth and sixth red tuns, marked severally D and
E, will be stationed where the present red tuna, marked
severally No. 11. and No. 111., lie, and be likewise dis-
tinguishable by a round basket. -
11. The number of the white tuns will be then increased
by three additional ones, two of which will be stationed
seawards of the present tun, No.o, and the other above the
present tun, No. 1.
(a.) The first white tun, marked No.l, will be stationed
on the extreme point of the " Red Sand," in seven fathoms
water, and bear S.W. by W. of the Wangeroog Town.
(b.) The second white tun, marked No. 2, will bear
W.S.W. W. of the Wangeroog Town.
(c.) The third and fourth white tuna, marked severally
No. 3 and N 0.4, will be stationed in the place of the tuns,
No. 0 and No.l, at present lying on the Middle Plate, but
in a different form, and, besides this, the tuu No. 3 will
be distinguishable by a wing.
(d.) The fifth white tun, marked N 0.5, will be stationed
near the Mellum Plate, and bear E. S. If the sixth red

tun, E.
111. As soon as the New Channel, or Fairway, is pro-
vided with buoys and beacons as above specified, the ata-
tion of the light-ship, No. 1, will be removed higher up,
and in such a manner that from the first white outward-
lying tun a direct passage may be steered up to it in a
S.E. course. The present black G, or eighth tun, will
then likewise be removed higher up.
IV. The consequence of this alteration in the several
positions of the buoys and beacons, the four black tuns, at
present lying in the old Weser Channel, namely key A.B.
and C., and alio the two white tuns, No. I. and No. 11.,
will be taken up at the above-mentioned time, but the
other tuns lying below the light-ship No. 1, will remain in
their present position till further notice.
When the alterations above specified are finally effected,
further particulars will be made known to mariners, but
even at the present date, the Chamber of Commerce con-
siders it its duty to direct the attention of those concerned
to the proposed alteration.
