LIGHTS AT THE HARBOR OF PORT LOUIS, MAURITIUS.

The following corrected sailing directions for making the anchorage off the harbor of Port Louis, Mauritius, with reference to the lighthouses recently erected upon "Flat Island" and Cannonier Point," and also the two mast lights near the entrance of the harbor, have been received at this office, and are published for the information of mariners :

DESCRIPTION OF THE LIGHTS.

FLAT ISLAND. This is a revolving catoptric light of the first order, situated at the southwest or highest extremity of the island, in latitude S. 19° 53′ 26′′, and longitude E. 57° 38' 8", determined by triangulation from the observatory of Port Louis. Variation of the compass 11° 47′ 13" west.

Its elevation above the mean level of the sea (the rise of the tide being only about 3 feet) is 366 feet, and it will be visible in clear weather, from the deck of a vessel 13 feet above the water, a distance of about 25 nautical miles.

CANNONIER POINT. This is a fixed catoptric light, also of the first order. It is situated in latitude S. 20° 0′ 35′′, and longitude E. 57° 32′ 39′′. Its elevation above the mean level of the sea is 39 feet 6 inches, and it will be seen from the deck af a vessel 13 feet above the water, a distance of about 10 nautical miles. The objects of this light are to indicate the position of a dangerous shoal nearly 14 miles from the shore, and to keep vessels clear of the coral reefs to the northeast and southwest of the point.
