Should the buoys not be visible, as is sometimes the case, being carried away or moved, then run for the Lighthouse, on the bearing S?W (magnetic), until Frazer's Dock (the first one on the starboard hand in the river, and plainly seen from the bar), bears SiH (magnetic); then haul up and run for the dock until the lead indicates you are over the bar and in the river. | With the wind from the NE the water rises from 7 to 15 inches, and from the south and SW the water lowers from 2 to 8 inches from the common level.
