NOTICE TO MARINERS.
SAILING DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING THE GUANO ISLAND OF
ICHABOE, SOUTH AFRICA.
Extract of a letter from Angra Pequena Bay.
"The westernmost point on the south side of Angra Pe-
quena Bay is in lat. 25 deg. 39 min. south, and lon. 15 deg.
7 min. 30 sec. east, one league north of which is Ichaboe
Island, the latitude of which by lunar observation, recently
taken, is 26 deg. 24 min. 15 sec. south, and lon. 14 deg.
46 min. 45 sec., variation of the needle 26 deg. west ; rise and
fall of the water around the island from sto 6 feet. This is
the place of loading. The island is only one mile in circum-
ference, and twelve from the shore, on the east side of which
vessels can lie all the year round in perfect safety and smooth
water, riding in five fathoms water.
" The safety and convenience of this harbour are owing to
the following circumstances:—
" A point of land from the continent extends from 3 to 4
milesinto the sea, to the south of the island ; and from the
extremity of this point a reef puts off in a north-westerly
direction, until it nearly meets a reef that projects from the
west side of the island. Another reef puts off from the north-
east part of the island, consequently a bay is formed in which
a ship may lie the year round in safety and smooth water;
but in entering this harbour or anchorage care should always
be taken to pass round the north end of the island, giving
its north-east point a berth of about half a mile which will
avoid all danger. In working into the harbour, the shore on
the main may be approached within two cables length. • The
wind generally is from the north. The current sets in a
northerly direction, about three quarters of a mile per hour.
Vessels may load at Penguin Island, which is at the head of
Angra Pequena Bay, but Ichaboe Island is preferable, on ac-
count of the safety of the harbour?'
Extract of a letter received at Lloyds, dated Ichaboe, May 16.
" I wrote some time ago about the nature of the anchorage,
so that I have only to add that the more I see of the place
goes to a confirmation of its being anything but a safe har-
bour, for many ships have lost anchors and cables and some
half anchors, and is a truly destructive place for boats."

LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.—A work is, we under-
stand, in preparation, to be called " The Calumniator's
Guide ; or, Every Man his own Apologist." It will contain
copious directions for backin out of slanderous assertions,
and will be dedicated to Mr.Wodehoufit—Punch.
