CLEARING HATTERAs
| But it may not be amiss before leaving this por
ton OF the Atlantic coast to call attention to some
safe courses between Hatteras and the Southern
| lnlets, with view to inducing experiment and
! consequent arrival at the best In former paper
it was mentioned that two methods of procedure
| we're III vogue among prudent mariners in passing
Hatteras One was land this good for all weathers)
to keep course by E. T. from a position l5
| miles Il n. from Cape Charles until run of
! from llS to 100 miles had been made when Cape
! Hatteras would bear W a little over 30 miles off
| and the course for clearing Lookout Shoals might
| be safely laid. The other was. from the same
| point OF departure to steer the same rs. by
! + + y, tor - miles until abreast of Bodies
| Island Lighthouse, and then s by W to make
| the whlstling buoy off Cape Hatteras Either plan
IS good the latter only requiring greater care in
| watching the helm and using the lead Now, hay
ing taken the former course and finding ones self
oft soundings, with Cape Hatteras bearing W 30
miles distant S w. by W will be safe course to
make and will bring the vessel up with the whist
| ling buoy off Lookout Shoals You will soon get
! soundings on this course and should not pass
| Lookout in less than ten tathoms When abreast
of the buoy the light on Cape Lookout should bear
