LIGHT HOUSES.

HONOLULU.

A Lighthouse has been erected on the inner edge of the Western Reef, bounding the entrance of the channel into Honolulu harbor. The light is a Fresnel of the fourth order, at an elevation of twenty-six feet above the sea level, and can be seen from the deck of an ordinary sized vessel at a distance of nine nautical miles, in a radius from S.E. by E. to W. from the Lighthouse.

2

From the Lighthouse the Spar or Fairway Buoy bears (magnetic) S. 11° W. 64cables; the eastern end of the new wharf, N. 35° E. 1 cables; Diamond Point, S. 56° E.; Barber's Point, S. 88° W., and the eastern corner of the Custom House, N. 15° E., near to which corner another Light Tower has been erected, at an elevation of twenty-eight feet above the sea level, and can be seen about five miles out at sea. The light in this Tower is green.

To enter the harbor by night, bring these two lights in one, bearing N. 15° E. (magnetic), and keep them in one till within a cable's length of the Lighthouse on the reef, when by hauling a point to the Eastward you will avoid the end of the spit on which the Lighthouse is built, extending off from it about twenty-five feet to the Eastward. Steer for the east end of the new wharf, and when half way between the light on the reef and the new wharf, keep away N.W. and along the Esplanade to an anchorage inside. All bearings magnetic.
