LIGHTHOUSES AT FARON AND

YSTAD.
NOTICE TO MARINERS.

Swedish and Norwegian Consulate-General,
2, Crosby-square, Nov. 4, 1847.
Sir,—l have the honour to communicate to you
the following translation of an ordinance issued by the
Royal Navy Board at Stockholm, on Sept. 24, 1847 :
" The Royal Navy Board hereby makes known,
for the information of mariners, the following publi-
cation regarding the lighthouses at Faron and Ystad,
viz.:—

" Ist. The lighthouse on the N. E. point, or the
Holm point, on Faron, referred to in the ordinance of
the 16th of April last, has been built during the sum-
mer, and will be lighted about the latter half of the
month of October, of the present year. As a differ-
ence between the light house on the island of Oster-
garn, east of Gottland, this new one will be revolving,
and will give four equally strong lustres, of about
thirty seconds each, during a period of eight minutes,
with a minute and a half's darkness between each
lustre. The light will be visible in every direction
from north to east and to south-west, and can be
seen from a ship's deck in clear weather at a distance of
3} geographical miles.
" 2nd. In place of the lanterns at Ystad, hitherto
only lighted on certain occasions, there have been
built two light-houses, provided with sideral lamps.
The larger one, or the one furthest in the harbour, will
have a common white lustre, fifty-two feet above the
level of the sea, and will be visible from W.N.W. to
S. to E.N.E., and can be seen at a distance of from
two to three miles during clear weather. The lesser
and outer light-house is erected on the farthest end of
the west pier of the harbour, is twenty feet above the
level of the sea ; and, to distinguish it from the greater
light-house, as well as from the lights of the houses
of the town, has a red lustre visible all round the
horizon, at a distance of about one to one-and-a-half
geographical miles. This light-house, on entering the
harbour, must be taken close on the larboard tack.
The bearings of these light-houses from each other is
N.E. by N. and S.W. by S., and the distance between
them is 1451 feet. The light-house on the west pier
is painted white, and the larger one is painted two-
thirds from the bottom red, and the remainder white.
These two will be lighted first towards the end of the
month of October, and will, as well as the light-house
on the island of Faron, be lighted during the hours
appointed by Government in the rules and regulations
regarding pilotage and beacons.
