Al hii.d1 waler will lie hoisted al the flagstaff a white fla!! with a Mexican fag/(!, in blac!. in the middle.

In runn11i11~ down should it he to rough for boats lo come out you should lay off and on, laking r.are not to get to the Westward of the Bar as then~ is generally a strong current sellinl:! in that direction, and unless your vessel sails well il will he almost impossible lo come in. Vessels with ~oocl ground tackle nl'ed not be afraid lo anchor off Lhe Bar taking care lo anchor in 4 1-2 fathoms water in rough weather, and in fine weather they ean arll'hor in safety in 3 1-2 fathoms. When vessrb are off the Bar in had weather, a fire will be made 011 the Beach every ni~dit. I shall still continue lo conduct the Pilolage as usual and so do my duty at the hazard of my life. J.
