I. Rewrite and translate the following text into Russian. Get ready to comment on it

1. Pilotage is compulsory for merchant vessels, with certain exceptions. There are no regular pilot boats in the Isles of Scilly, but on approaching, a vessel requiring a pilot should make the usual signal, and the coastguard at Saint Mary's will inform pilots. For signals to be made see 1.23. A vessel should embark the pilot from 1 to 2 miles S of P. Head, or the same distance W of Bishop Rock.

2. Anchorage. There is anchorage in Lymington Road in depths of about 7m, sand and mud, with Basket light-beacon bearing 326°, distant about 8 ca­bles.

There is better anchorage and less tidal stream here than in Garmout Road on the opposite coast. Anchorage is prohibited in Lymington River.

3. New Grounds, comprise the S portion of irregular ground extending 8 cables S from Drakes Island (described later) which contains rocky patches and numerous boulders with depths of between 5 m and 7 m over them, and depths in general of less than 10m; they are marked near their S edge by New Ground Light-buoy.

4. Directions. To enter by the E channel, from a position approximately 12 miles S of Saint Antony Head, steer towards Black Rock Beacon and bring the E extremity of Saint Mawes Castle to bear 004° which leads into the en­trance in a least depth of 13.4 m. When abreast Black Rock steer for the single large elm tree on Penarrow Point bearing 334° keeping the small white pillar on the foreshore at that point just open E of it.
