SAILING INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHARLOTTETOWN HARBOUR

A Black Buoy, with a ball and staff, has been placed on the South side of the Fitz Roy Rock, lying of Governor's Island, in 4 1/2 fathoms low water, with the following Marks and Bearings, viz.: � A remarkable gap or notch in the trees on the distant land on with the Blockhouse, bearing N. 4� E., and the North Point of Governor's island, on with Pownal Point E. by N. 1/4 N. The least water on this rock is 21 ft. and the proper deep water channel is on its larboard side going in, but it may be passed on its East side at the distance of cable's length, if required.

A Red Buoy has been placed on the elbow or St. Peter's Bar in 23 feet low water, with the following marks and bearings, viz: � The remarkable gap open a ship's length to the eastward of the Blockhouse; the Presbyterian Church tower open to the left of the trees on Battery Point; the North Point of St. Peter's Island W. 1/2 S., and the S. W. point of Governor's Island S. E. 1/2 S. This Buoy must be left on the larboard hand going in, and after rounding it from the westward, do not haul up for the Blockhouse until Government House comes on with Battery Point, which is the starboard inner point of the entrance, unless in a vessel of easy draft, as a direct course from the Buoy N. 1/2 E. leads over the eastern edge of the shoal ground in 15 feet low water; you may, however, with a scant wind, choose your water from 2 1/2 to 14 fathoms, which latter depth will be found in mid-channel and carried up to the entrance, with Government House just seen left of the trees on Battery Point, bearing N. 1/2 E. nearly. Beating in with a heavy vessel, tack on each side of the channel in 4 fathoms�the Fitz Roy Buoy bears from the Elbow Buoy nearly S. by W. 1 6/10 miles.

A BLACK BUOY has been placed off the extremity of the spit stretching out from Battery Point, in 5 fathoms low water, with the following marks and bearings, viz:�The east end of Governor's Island shut in with "Sea-Trout Point," which forms the outer point of entrance, and "Rosebank Point," a ship's length open to the left of Battery Point, bearing N. E. by E. This Buoy must be left on the starboard hand going in, and after passing it, steer N. N. E. with the red Beacon on with the tower of the Presbyterian Church, until the white Beacon comes on with M'Kinnon's log house, bearing S. W. 1/2 W. with which mark proceed up towards the pier, where you may choose your berth at pleasure in 9 or 10 fathoms. The best berth for men of war is with the Government House N. W. by N., the Blockhouse on with Battery Point, and M'Kinnon's log house open twice its breadth to the northward of the white Beacon in 9 or 10 fathoms� capital holding ground.

N. B. � The Presbyterian Church tower is white and of a square

form, without a spire.

Proceeding outwards, reverse the above directions; and do not open the Government House of Battery Point until the red Buoy comes on with the South Point of St. Peter's Island; then you may haul to the westward as close to the Buoy as you please, choosing your water by the lead. On rounding Point Prim, do not steer for the channel until the entrance of the Harbour bears N. by E., or the Presbyterian Church tower kept midway between the points of entrance will lead up to the Buoy of the Fitz Roy.
