The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of

of a despatch from her Majesty's Consul, at Mobile, en-
closing a Notice to Mariners (a copy of which is subjoined),
issued by the United States' District Inspector of Light-
houses, at Mobile, relating to buoys and beacons laid down
at the entrance to that bay.
NOTICE TO MARINERS.
The following buoys, beacons, &c., have been placed to
facilitate the entrance to Mobile Bay :
A bell boat, striped black and white, is anchored in eight
fathoms' "water, half a mile outside the outer bar : Sand
Island Light. bearing N.W. by N. N., 2i statute miles
distant. The bell is telled by the action of the waves.
An iron buoy, striped black and white, is placed in mid-
channel, jest within the Bar, ranging with the bell boat
and Sand Island Light.
A black iron buoy on the west side of the main channel,
near the north end of the "Sand Island Bank."
A red iron buoy on the east side of the channel, at the
edge of the " East Bank," and opposite the black buoy just
mentioned.
A black iron buoy on the west side of the channel, at
the edge of the " West Bank," and opposite Fort Morgan.
An iron buoy, striped black and white, in mid channel,
between Mobile Point and the " Middle-ground."
A red iron buoy on the east side of the main channel,
at the west end of the " Middle-ground."
In entering the harbour, red buoys should be left on the
starboard hand, and black buoys on the port hand.
Buoys, striped black and white, may be passed on either
hand, but should be kept well aboard.

To enter in foggy weather, after passing the bell boat
close aboard, run in by compass N.W. by N. N. to the
first striped buoy, thence N. by W. f W. till up with
Sand Island Light, and thence the course along mid chan-
nel to the upper striped buoy is N. E. From this buoy
running N. W. N. and passing the upper red buoy, we
reach the upper anchorage ground of the lower fleet.
After passing the upper red buoy, it is well to steer N.
by W. W. till the ship comes to anchor.
Two wooden range beaciits, twenty feet high, have been
erected on the east end of Sand Island, and two on Mobile
Point. All of them u ill be lighted at night, and will be
visible on and near the ranges mentioned.
The seaward beacon at Sand Island is painted white,
with a vertical red stripe on the seaward side. It will
show a white light, and when ranging with Sand Island
Lighthouse, it ranges also with the bell boat, and the
striped buoy to lead in over the outer bar.
The inner beacon at Sand Island is painted red, and will
show a red light. Its range with the outer beacon is the
limit of the channel along the west bank northerly from
Sand Island.

At Mobile Point, the seaward beacon is painted red, and
will show a red light. This, in range with the inner one,
leads up along the edge of the " East Bank," northerly
from the outer bar.

The inner beacon at Mobile Point is white, and will
show a white light, and when in range with the Mobile
Point Lighthouse, leads to the upper striped buoy, and
through the channel at the west end of the " Middle-
ground."
A screw pile beacon is under construction, intended to
mark the shoal at " Revenue Point," near the outer bar.
A black spar buoy has begin placed on the south point of
" South-east Pelican Shoal," in 20 feet water, the eastern
woods on Dauphin Island, just on with the east end of
Pelican Island.
The buoy marks the entrance to the " Middle Channel,"
that between Pelican and Dauphin Islands being closed.
From the buoy the course in, ever the bar, is N.E. E.
