NOTICE TO MARINERS.

ALTERATIONS IN THE BUOYS ON THE WEST
COAST OF SLESWIG.
(Translation.)
In the course of a few days the following alterations
will be made in the buoys in the undermentioned chan-
nels, viz.
Lister Deep—lnstead of the black buoy, marked "No.
2 Romo," there will be placed in the north-west bite of
Jordsand's Flat a seven-foot black and white chequered
buoy, which on entering for Romo must be kept on the
starboard side, and for the Hoyer Channel on the larboard.
Instead of the red buoy by the Hunning Shoal, a white
and black-stripped five-feet buoy will be placed, which on
entering the Hover Channel must be kept on the starboard,
and to the List Roads on the larboard. Further, in the
course of eight or ten days, the following additions and
alterations in the buoying of this channel will be made :
Instead of the customary buoy at the entrance of the
channel, a " Placock's" buoy, with a vane, marked " Lis-
ter-dye ;" this seamark appears like a floating, beacon, is
twelve feet above the water, and can serve as a refuge for
twelve persons.
On the north side of Saltsand shoal, another black buoy
will be placed ; there will thus be two black buoys on this
shoal, marked List No. 18, No. 2. The white buoy A will
be placed further to the N.W., in fourteen feet water, at
the S.W. end of the "list" shoal.
To the south of the " Haysands" reefs, on which there
is only two feet, a thirteen feet white buoy will be placed,
with a black ball, marked " List C."
New Hever—Between the white buoys C and D, a white
buoy, without letter, will be placed on a projecting point
of the north " Sandground." The green wreck buoy will
be taken away.
North Elbe—lnstead of the white buoy A, a thirteen
feet white water ballast buoy, with a black ball. The
floating beacon on Gehlsand flat will be taken awry.
