Washington — {continued.) 



Orcas Island. This is the hirgest of the islands lying between Vancouver 

 Island and the mainland. It forms the northwestern shore of the 

 Strait of Rosario. From N. to S., it is about 9 miles wide, and from 

 E. to W., it is about 13 miles long. The position of Point Lawrence,

Port Angeles. This is also sometimes called False Dungeness and is on 

 the southern shore of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, 55 n. miles inside 

 Tatoosh Island. All the coast is either wooded high bluffs or rocky, 

 but the sand spit, which forms this port is long and narrow, stretching 

 out from the bluff in an EXE. direction. The position of the light- 

 house at the eastern end of the spit is Lat. 48°08'21" N. and Long.

 Admiralty Inlet on the east and Hoods Canal on the west. It is a long 

 narrow arm of these interior waters 14 n. miles long NNE. and SSW., 

 with two entrances. The southern entrance is by a crooked channel, 

 named Richards Passage, opening upon a western recess of the western 

 shore of Admiralty Inlet, and the SW. tail is the U. S. Navy Yard, 

 called the Puget Sound Naval Station whose position is Lat. 47°33i' N.

 Puget Sound. Vancouver, however, gave the name to the waters at 

 the southern part of all these channels from Port Defiance in Lat. 

 47°19' N. to the head of all at Olympia, in Lat. 47°02' N. As a general 

 designation in popular usage, the term is coincident with, or even 

 somewhat more extensive than the legal application.

 and Long. 122°14' W.
