Remarks. In crossing the Main Channel, from South to Swash channel, black buoy No. B 1 and red buoy No. B 2 will be left on the starboard hand and Palestine Shoal buoy (red and black horizontal stripes) on the port.

See Remarks and Dangers under section 1 A preceding. See also currents, on pages 133, 134.

1 C.

Entering through East Channel.-This channel is not much used; it is not safe for vessels drawing over 17 feet, even with a smooth sea, and should not be attempted by strangers. Keep the Centennial Tower on Coney Island bearing to the westward of N. by W. W. until Romer Shoal Lighthouse bears W. N. Steer for this lighthouse on this bearing until Sandy Hook Lighthouse bears SSW. W. and then change the course to NW., leaving the black buoys on the port and the red buoys on the starboard hand. When red buoy (No. 6) bears about N. haul to the northward, pass to the westward of it, and steer N. W. until Coney Island Lighthouse bears SE. by E. E., then follow the directions under section 4, page 139.

Bank.

Remarks. Although this channel is buoyed, strangers should not use it.

Allowance must be made for the currents; the flood sets toward Romer Shoal, the ebb toward East

The W. N. course leads about mile north of black buoy No. 1 and nearly directly for black buoy No. 3; the course is changed to NW. when about midway between these buoys. The three red buoys (Nos. 2, 4, and 6) marking the northern edge of the channel are gas-lighted, and each shows a fixed red light at night.

Dangers. Romer Shoal, described above, forms the southern limit of the channel, and a part of East Bank rises abruptly on the northern side of the channel.

1 D.

Entering through False Hook Channel. This channel has a least depth of 19 feet, but it should not be attempted by vessels drawing over 16 feet or by strangers. With Navesink Lighthouses bearing to the westward of WSW. bring Sandy Hook Lighthouse to bear NNW. W. and steer for it. This course will lead about 400 yards to the westward of Outer Middle Ground buoy (spar, red, No. 2) near the entrance. When this buoy bears E., distance about 400 yards, steer N. by W. W. and pass 200 to 300 yards to the westward of The Oil Spot buoy (spar, red, No. 4). Continue the N. by W. W. course nearly parallel to the beach until North Hook beacon bears W. by N., then change course to NNE. E. passing to the northward of False Hook Shoal buoy (nun, red and black horizontal stripes) and close to the westward of Bayside Range Cut buoy (can, black, No. B 3) and out into the Main Channel. Now turn to the westward and enter through the Main Channel (see directions, section 1, page 137) or continue NNE. E. until on the Swash Channel Range and enter as directed, section 1 B, page 140.

Remarks.-On the N. by W. W. course the eastern shore of Sandy Hook will be given a berth of about mile, but it may be approached with safety to within mile.

Dangers.-Outer Middle Ground, with 18 to 21 feet over it; Oil Spot, with 10 to 19 feet over it, and False Hook Shoal, with 16 to 18 feet over it, lie to the eastward of the channel (between it and South Channel) in a NNW. and SSE. direction, and are inclosed by five buoys, two red buoys on the western side, two black buoys on the eastern side, and a buoy (red and black horizontal stripes) at the northern end of False Hook Shoal, about E. S. from North Hook beacon.

A shoal with 11 to 17 feet over it makes out for about § of a mile in a northeasterly direction from North Hook beacon. Its northeastern extremity is marked by a black bell buoy, which should be given a berth of at least 450 yards while to the southward of it.
