278 GEOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR. 
Enseneda de Davila, (Davila’s inlet.) This is a larger bay, and is probably the Freshwater 
bay of the American and English charts. 
All these Spanish names originated partly in Quimper’s, partly in Elisa’s exploring expedi- 
tion to this shore, (1790, 1791.) The Spanish officers of the Sutil and Mexicana give for it the 
original name Ucunas. 
False Dungeness is, so to ae the first attempt of nature on this coast to form a good 
harbor. A low sandy and very narrow spit of land sets out from the coast and runs east about 
three miles. It forms and bounds with the coast a bay of two miles broad and of a regular 
oval shape. The harbor has surprisingly deep soundings of from 20 to 10 fathoms from its 
eastern entrance to its western end, and is also deep from north to south, and extremely well 
protected against the west, north, and south. 
The harbor was discovered by either Quimper, (1790,) or by Elisa, (1791,) and called by 
them Puerto de los Angeles, (the Harbor of the Angels.) The name was retained by Van- 
couver and likewise on the English admiralty charts, and this is therefore doubtless the true 
name of the harbor. 
On the Coast Survey charts it is called False Dungeness, no doubt because the configuration 
of the port has some similarity to that of New Dungeness, in the neighborhood. It was 
surveyed and sounded in the year 1852 by Lieutenant J. Alden, United States navy, assistant in 
the Coast Survey. On his chart, which is to be found in the Coast Survey Report of 1853, the 
Spanish name is retained only to the eastern extremity of the long sandy bay which covers the 
bay or Ediz Hook. 
NEW DUNGENESS BAY, 489 12: NORTH LATITUDE, 123° 10’ WEST LONGITUDE. 
From False Dungeness the coast extends a little to the north and sweeps back to the east, 
throwing out again a long spit of low sandy land very similar to that by which False Dungeness 
is formed. It lies at the northern extremity of a pretty large peninsula. 
From the long sandy spit of land which covers the port to the north a branch runs out 
towards the south, which nearly closes the inner half of the bay and makes the entrance to it 
very narrow. The outer open part of the bay is deep and affords shelter against the west and 
northwest. 
The bay was ауа by Don Manuel Quimper, іп the year 1790, and named after him 
Bahia de Quimper, (Quimper’s bay.) He called the long projecting cape or m tongue Puerto 
de Santa Cruz, (the Point of the Holy Cross.) 
Vancouver, who, as I have said, ran quickly along this whole shore east from Cape Flattery, 
looking out for some more spacious and commodious harbor, did nothing for the particular 
survey of all the bays and indentations of the coast just named, which, however, had been 
explored and named before him by the Spaniards, of whose explorations Vancouver knew 
nothing, having with him only an imperfect sketch or beginning of a sketch of De Fuca 
strait, by Captain Duncan. 
This locality was only recognized by Vancouver in passing, and at a distance. It appeared 
to him to be something like the situation of Dungeness in the British channel, and he therefore 
called the sand promontory New Dungeness, (April, 1792.) 
Wilkes called the bay New Dungeness Roads.
