(Copy.)
PROCLAMATION.

The Royal Administration of Marine announces, for the
knowledge and guidance of mariners, that since the light-
house at Holmogadd has been rebuilt and arranged for the
reception of an apparatus a reverberes, 14 pieces of
strongly silvered reverberes have been set up in the same,
and so placed as to illumine the whole horizon, with the
exception of that part which looks to Holmoland, between
N. 25 deg. and 55 deg. E., from the same height as the old
coal light, that is, 72 feet above the surface of the water.
With regard to the situation of the dangerous shal'ow,
which stretches out half a geographical mile from the south
point of Holmogadd and ends in a shallow piece of flat
rock, 5 feet deep, called Ga,ddsmyteen, S.S.W. 4 W. from
the lighthouse, the light has been strengthened in that
direction, and therefore gives out the most intense lustre
on that side. The light, in its present improved state,
began on the 9th of August, and is to continue thenceforth
to he lighted similarly to the other Crown Lighthouses.
