J 42 VOYAGE TO THE 



CHAP, observation, had a deep channel on both sides of it ; 

 ^^- we therefore weighed, and steered through the south- 

 May, gi-n passage. It afterwards became necessary to beat 

 up to the anchorage, in doing which we discovered 

 another rock, and had a still narrower escape^. We 

 reached our destination a little before sunset, and then 

 came to an anchor off the town of Napa. 



* The position of these rocks are given in the plan of Napa- 

 kiano-, which we constructed during our stay here.
