bold Cliff marks the right entrance Of the harbor
and in this Fresnal light Of the second order has
been erected w feet above the sea level This light
not having been adopted by the Mexican Govern
ment, IS only illuminated twice per month, the 10th
and S0th), when the steamers OF the Tehuantepec
Company are of the harbor. Besides the Fresnal,
there is smaller range light, by which the entrance
Is perfectly marked. The larger light is observable
twenty-five and the lesser five miles at sea.
The sailing directions Of the Coatzacoalcos river are
as follows Inward bound vessels will range the two
lights and run them down, with the lead going, until
eighteen feet water IS made. When the lead sounds
fifteen feet the helm is put to the starboar and the
vessel keeps away south east into the middle of the ry
until abe passes the high bluffs that outline the en-
trance to the harbor, when she lets 90 her anchor in
seven or ten fathoms water, with a good holding
ground. Outside, her course should be well to the
eastward to avoid strong westerly setting
