" FIXED LIGHT ON THE NASEUBBEN ROCK,
OFF CAPE SIMPNAS, IN THE GULF OF
BOTHNIA.

" The Swedish Government has given notice that a
fixed light was established on the 15th of September last
on the Naskubben Rock, close to Simpnas Point, on the
western side of the Gulf of Bothnia.

" The lighthouse stands about a mile S. 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,
oxcapt when bearing S. f W.; it is then intercepted by
the beacon on Cape Simpnas.

Vessels from the Alitiad Islands, by steering S. t W.
for this light, will thereby pass half a cable's length to
the eastward of Simpnag Klubb, which is quite bold, and
may be easily seen, even in a dark night. Continue the
same course fcr a third of a mile further, or till midway
between the Klubb and Bokubben, and then steer due
S., which will lead half a cable's length to the eastward
of Bokubben Shoals, and a little greater distance to the
wosttva7d of the beacon on the Geflehasten Shoal.
" A vessel should pass to the eastward of the light, at
the distance of 200 feet (100 Swedish ells), and then re-
sume her first course cf S. If 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,_l-avin4r, it on the starboard hand.

Now change the course to S. by W., and steer for
Rumshaven, 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 humshaven 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 Bokub-
ben and the Geflehasten Shoals is only 100 fathoms (300
ells) wide, and that a good rule is to kee p the vessel just
on the limits of the bright glare of light, the transition
from which to darkness (by the special adjustment of the
light) is very sudden."
