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. From the Lighthouse the Spar or Fairway Buoy bears (magnetic) S. 11~ W. Gcables; the eastern end of the new wharf, N. 35~ E. 12 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.

The window on the sea side of the light-room is of 20 24-inch glass, with red glass at the N.W. and S.E. ends. The colored glass stands at equal angles, side and front, and a vessel in ten fathoms of water will have two bright lights for about half a mile each way from directly in front of the Lighthouse. At a greater disttnce, it will show a colored light until the. lights almost appear like one, or the red light like a reflection from the other light.

Sea-going steamships, when under way, shall carry, at the foremast head, a bright white light, so fixed as to show a uniform and unbroken light over an arc of the horizon of twenty points of the compass, so fixed as to throw the light ten points on each side of the ship, viz: from right ahead to two points abaft 64 RULES CONCERNING LIGHTS. the beam on either side, and of such a character as to be visible on a dark night, with a clear atmosphere, at a distance of at least five miles. On the starboard side, a green light, so constructed as to throw a uniform and unbroken light over an arc of the horizon of ten points of the compass, so fixed as to throw the light from right ahead to two points abaft the beam on the starboard side, and of such a character as to be visible on a dark night, with a clear atmosphere, at a distance of at least two miles. On the port side, a red light, so constructed as to show a uniform, unbroken light over an arc of the horizon of ten points of the compass, so fixed as to throw the light from right ahead to two points abaft the beam on the port side, and of such a character as to be visible on a dark night, with a clear atmosphere, at a distance of at least two miles. The said green and red side-lights shall be fitted with inboard screens, projecting at least three feet forward from the light, so as to prevent these lights from being seen across the bow. ARTICLE 4. Steamships, when towing other ships, shall carry two bright white masthead lights, vertically, in addition to their side-lights, so as to distinguish them from other steamships. Each of these masthead lights shall be of the same construction and character as the masthead lights which other steamships are required to carry. ARTICLE 5. Sailing ships under way, or being towed, shall carry the same lights as steamships under way, with the exception of the white masthead lights, which they shall never carry. ARTICLE 6. Whenever, as in the case of small vessels, during bad weather, the green and red lights cannot be fixed, these lights shall be kept on deck, on their respective sides of the vessel, ready for instant exhibition; and shall, on the approach of or to other vessels, be exhibited on their respective sides in sufficient time to RULES CONCERNING LIGHTS. 65 prevent collisions, in such manner as to make them most visible, and so that the green light shall not be seen on the port side, nor the red light on the starboard side.

ARTICLE 7. Ships, whether steamships or sailing ships, when at anchor in roadsteads or fairways, shall, between sunset and sunrise, exhibit, where it can best be seen, but at a height not exceeding twenty feet above the hull, a white light, in a globular lantern of eight inches in diameter; and so constructed as to show a clear, uniform and unbroken light, visible all round the horizon, and at a distance of at least one mile. ARTICLE 8. Sailing pilot vessels shall not carry the lights required for other sailing vessels, but shall carry a white light at the masthead, visible all round the horizon, and shall also exhibit a flare-up light every fifteen minutes. ARTICLE 9. Open fishing-boats and other open boats shall not be required to carry side-lights, required for other vessels; but shall, if they do not carry such lights, carry a lantern having a green slide on the one side, and a red slide on the other side; and on the approach of or to other vessels, such a lantern shall be exhibited in sufficient time to prevent collision, so that the green light shall not be seen on the port side, nor the red light on the starboard side. Fishing vessels and open boats when at anchor, or attached to their nets, and stationary, shall exhibit a bright white light. Fishing vessels and open boats shall, however, not be prevented from using a flare-up in addition, if considered expedient. 66 STEERING AND SAILING RULES. RULES CONCERNING FOG SIGNALS. ARTICLE 10.

(B) Sailing ships under way shall use a fog horn. (c) Steamships and sailing ships when not under way, shall use a bell. STEERING AND SAILING RULES. ARTICLE 11. If two sailing ships are meeting end on, or neaarly end on, so as to involve risk of collision, the helms of both shall be put to port, so that each may pass on the port side of the other. ARTICLE 12. When two sailing ships are crossing, so as to involve risk of collision, then, if they have the wind on different sides, the ship with the wind on the port side shall keep out of the way of the ship with the wind on the starboard side; except in the case in which the ship with the wind on the port side is close hauled, and the other ship free, in which case the latter ship shall keep out of the way. But if they have the wind on the same side, or if one of them has the wind aft, the ship which is to windward shall keep out of the way of the ship which is to leeward. ARTICLE 13. If two ships under steam are meeting end on, or nearly end on, so as to involve risk of collision, the helms of both shall be put to port, so that each may pass on the port side of the other. ARTICLE 14. If two ships under steam are crossing, so as to involve risk of collision, the ship which has the other on her starboard side, shall keep out of the way of the other. STEERING AND SAILING RULES. 67 ARTICLE 15. If two ships, one of which is a sailing ship and the other a steamship, are proceeding in such direction as to involve risk of collision, the steamship shall keep out the way of the sailing ship. ARTICLE 16.

In obeying and construing these rules due regard must be had to all dangers of navigation, and due regard must also be had to any special circumstances which may exist in any particular case, rendering a departure from the above rules necessary, in order to avoid immediate danger. ARTICLE 20. Nothing in these rules shall exonerate any ship, or the owner, or master, or crew thereof, from the consequences of any neglect to carry lights or signals, or of any neglect to keep a proper look-out, or of the neglect of any precaution which may be required by the ordinary practice of seamen, or by the special circumstances of the case. It being, however, understood and especially enacted, that His Majesty the King may, from time to time, by order in Council, make and proclaim such alterations in, or additions to, the said rules and regulations, as His Majesty may deem necessary and proper, so far as concerns the application of said rules and regulations to Hawaiian vessels. 68 LIENS ON SHIPS AND VESSELS. SECTION 2. It shall be the duty of the Collector General of Customs to cause two copies of said rules, in Hawaiian and English, to be delivered to all masters of Hawaiian vessels applying for the same.
