 and the north jjoint of the entrance to Rushoon. 



A shoal, with 5 fathoms water, bears 123°, distant | mile from the 

 southeastern extreme of Broad Cove head. 



West Broad cove also affords good anchorage in 10 fathoms 

 water, but is entirely open to southerly winds. The holding ground 

 is said to be. better than in East Broad cove. 



Green island, 90 feet high, is the northeastern of a group lying 

 off Broad Cove head. It is small, covered with grass, and faced by 

 dark cliffs. A reef extends 250 yards from the northeastern end 

 and 200 yards from the southwestern extreme. A rock, with 6 feet 

 water, bears 76°, distant 800 yards from the eastern extreme of Green 

 island, being the outer edge of a bank extending from the island. 



Emberlys or Fords island, 1^- miles southwestward of Green 

 island, is surmounted by a peak, with a small flat top, 330 feet above 

 high water, that shows prominently from all directions. The sides 

 are steep, in many places formed of dark cliff, except the southwest- 

 ern extreme, that is terminated by a grassy mound 70 feet high. 

 A white islet, 10 feet high, lies off the northern point, and a sunken 

 rock close off the point just south of it. Two small rocks lie off the 

 eastern shore, and the south side is fringed by rugged rocks that 

 cover and extend 200 yards from the shore.

 island. 



Andrews island, 38 feet high, is the largest of a group of square 

 rocks, joined at low water to the southwestern point of Emberlys 

 island. Rocks that cover lie a short distance off the northernmost of 

 the group. 



Oderin island (Audierne) is separated from the southwestern 

 point of Emberlys island and the above group by a channel 200 

 yards wide, through which a depth of 9 feet can be carried at low
