" FIXED LIGHT ON THEIVASKUBBEN ROCK,
OFF' CAPE SISIPNAS, IN THE GULF OF
BOTHNIA.

" The Swedish Government has given notice that a
fixed light was established on the 15th of September last
()a the Naskubben Rock, close to Simpnas Point, on the
western side of the Gulf of Bothnia.
" The lighthouse stands about a mile S. if W. by com-
pass from the Simpnas Beacon, in lat. 59 deg. 52 min.
40 sec. N., and long. 19 deg. 5 min. E. of Greenwich. and
being 21 feet above the level of the sea, is visible from
all directions seaward at the distance of about 9 miles,
except when bearing S. + W.; it is then intercepted by
the beacon on Cape Simpnas.
Vessels from the Aland Islands, by steering S. W.
for this light, will thereby pass half a cable's length to
the eastward of Simpnas Klubb, which is quite bold, and

sCae evenird of ina
between the Klubb and Bokubben, end then steer due
S., which will lead half a cable's length to the eastward
of Bukubben Shoals, and a little greater distance to the
westward of the beacon on the Geflehasten Shoal.
" A vessel should pass to the eastward of the light, at
the distance of 200 feet (too Swedish ells), and then re-
sume her first course of S. I W., until she has advanced
from it two-thirds of a mile, when she must pass to the
eastward of the beacon at Simpnas Vik (or cove), 200
feet, leaving it on the starboard baud.
" Now change the course to S. by W., and steer for
Rutte,haven, which lies about one mile and two-thirds
(5,000 ells) from the lighthouse, hauling still more to
the westward in approaching it, and running in by the
lead, take up your anchorage about a cable's length from
the north point of Rumshaven Vik.
" To the above directions for passing the light by the
given compass course and estimated distance, it may be
added, that the channel between the dangerous Bokubs
ben and the Geflehasten Shoals is only 100 fathoms (300
ells) wide, and that a good rule is to keep the vessel just
on the limits of the bright glare of light, the transition
from which to darkness (by the special a ijustment of the
light) is very sudden."
