30 SPORTING ADVENTURES IN THE PACIFIC!. 



but as far as we could see no further damage 

 had been done. During our stay here we had 

 some sport, shooting ducks and geese, and 

 our seining party were also very successful. 



Leaving Eden Harbour we passed through 

 the English narrows, one of the most beauti- 

 ful spots in Smyth's Channel, and anchored in 

 Connor Cove, which we found to be placed too 

 far north on the chart. 



Like most of the harbours in the Straits, 

 Connor Cove has a river running into it at 

 the head; the stream ran so swiftly out 

 of this that it interfered considerably with 

 the ship answering her helm. We obtained 

 plenty of excellent wood here, and laid in a 

 supply which carried us on to Island Harbour, 

 a very secure anchorage, and the last port 

 visited before clearing Smyth's Channel, which 

 we did the following day.
