I HAD heard such fabulous stones rec^ardinG: tlie numbers 

 of birds that frequent the Bird Rocks that I determined on 

 visiting them ; so one mornir.g, having a fair wind, \vc started, 

 taking with us our man of all work, " Metrick," and the owner 

 and captain of the little craft by courtesy called a boat. 



The "Rocks" are situated about twelve miles to the north- 

 east of Byron Island, and can only be visited during very 

 calm weather, as otherwise it would be impossible to land.
