southern part of the shoal, by attending to 
the pointing of the Semaphore arms at the 
signal station, or by keeping the South head 
beacons open about 3 breadths southwards. 
The ways of the South head beacons will, 
in a short time, be extended, and the beacons 
adjusted to the course of the channel, of 
which due notice will be given. The least 
water dow in the South channel is 3 fathoms 
at low water springs, deepening quickly to 
4 and 5 fathoms. 
Mariners are cautioned to place no depen 
dence on the buoys, as they frequently break 
adrift, and to exercise the greatest care in 
entering, attending strictly to the steering 
signals from the pilot station and keeping 
the lead constantly going. 
None but those thoroughly acquainted with 
the local signals should attempt to cross the 
bar of Manukau harbour.
