NOTICE TO MARINERS.

FIXED LIGHT ON ISABEL POINT, BRAZOS SANTIAGO,

TEXAS.

Her Majesty's Government has been officially informed
that a fixed light is now established on Isabel Point, at
the entrance of the Brazos Santiago, in let. 26 7 N. and
long. 97 16 W., of Greenwich. The tower is painted white,
and the dome and lantern black. From-the deck of a
steam-vessel it may be seen at the distance of 11 miles from
the bar, and when it bears W. by N. (magnetic), it may be
safely approached on that bearing into eight fathoms water.
It is visible 15 miles in any direction seaward, but the
nature of the coast renders it necessary to be cautious in
running for it on any other than the above hewing. A
moving beacon light, intended to mark the entrance of the
harbour, will be exhibited at the south point of Padre
Island, and will be visible at the distance of 10 miles from
the bar, in clear weather. It is a moveable framework,
painted black, plainly visible by day, and stands in lat. 26
6 N., and long. 97 12 W.
