Corner Inlet. — " From this point the leaky condition of his 

 boat compelled him to put back. . . . He examined the 

 large shoal bay to the east of Wilson's Promontory, and named it 

 Corner Inlet. . . . He himself reached Sydney in safety on 

 the 24th February, 1798." — (Bass's Voyage in the Whaleboat.)

Cape Wellington and W^aterloo Bay. — " Cape Wellington, 

 the eastern projection of the Promontory, forms the north point

 anniversary of one of the greatest triumphs ever achieved by 

 British arms." — Discoveries in Australia, by Commander Stokes,

 wind setting in from the E.N.E., with a foul and cloudy sky, we 

 hastened to get in our stock of seals' flesh, and then stood over for
