R evolving Light on Out-Skerries.
The Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses have give n
notice that on the night of Dec. 1, 1858, the present tempo-
rary light on the island of Gruna, Out-Skerries, will be dis-
continued, and on and after that date a revolving white
light, attaining its greatest brilliancy once every minute,
will be exhibited from the permanent light tower erected on
the Bound Skerry.
The light is placed at an elevation of about 145 feet above
the level of high water and should be visible in clear
weather from the deck of a ship at a distance of about 17

miles.
The light apparatus is dioptric, or by lenses, and of the
first order.
-The light tower is 80 feet high, and painted white, and
the whole height of tower and lantern is 99 feet. The
Bound Skerry is the most easterly rock of the Out-Skerries
group, on the east side of the Shetland isles.
By command of their Lordships,

Light on Cape Bordo.
With reference to Notices to Mariners, Nos. 40 and 66 of
1858, information has been received at the Admiralty that
the light on Cape Bordo, the noth-west point of Kangaroo
Island, off St. Vincent Gulf, South Australia, has been ex-
hibited since the 13th of July, 1858, and is designated the
Flinders Light.
The light, which revolves showing alternately red and
white every half minute, is visible between N.B. by E j E.
round by the north and west to S.W. by S. The white
light may be seen in clear weather from a distance of 30
miles, but the red light not more than about half that dis-
tance, and when the red light is not distinguishable the
white light will appear at intervals of one minute.
The illuminating apparatus is catoptric, or by reflectors,
and of the first order.
The lighthouse is a square tower of stone, and stands
about 500 yards from the edge of the cliff in lat. 35 deg. 451
min. S. long. 136 deg. 341 min. East of Greenwich.
Directions.—Vessels approaching Cape Bordo from the
south-west should keep the light well open off the high land
to the southward of the cape to avoid the reef off Cape
Bedout, the -western exremity of the island, and if bound up
Investigator Strait, after having rounded Cape Bordo, they
should keep the light quite clear of the high land to the
eastward of it on a S.W. by W. bearing until Cape Forbin
is passed, when it may be shut in.
In proceeding down Investigator Strait the light should
not be brought to bear to the westward of S.W. by W.
[The bearings are magnetic. Variation 41 deg. E. in
1858.]
