 ship, where I found a one and seven-eighth inch iron post alongside of a wooden 

 post marked on the north-west " Catharine " ; west " 1'' ; on the north " Con. 1 " ; 

 north-east " Skead " ; on the east " 1 " ; on the south-east " Bayly " ; on the south

 marked on the north "IV." ; on the east "I" : on the south "III" ; on the west
