The Brothers reef, which uncovers o feet at low water, is situated 

 on the northern side and near the western end of the channel between 

 Dreat Dunier and Troytown islands; it narrows the passage between 

 it and Great Dunier island to a breadth of 80 yards. 



Nimrod island, 28 feet high, situated 300 yards westward of 

 Great Dunier island and separated from Troytown island by a channel 

 95 yards wide, with T fathoms water in it, has low rocks extending 

 w'estward 150 ^^ards and shoal water extending eastAvard nearly 100 

 yards from it. 



Nimrod harbor, a small boat cove in Troytown island, is situated 

 to the northward of the eastern end of Nimrod island, and there are 

 a few houses on the shore. 



The coast of Troytown island from Nimrod harbor trends west- 

 southwestward for 2^ miles to the island forming Cards harbor; it 

 is fairly steep-to. At -f% mil6 west-southwestward of Nimrod island 

 and about 100 yards offshore is Harbor Round island, wiiich is 300 

 yards long, parallel to the coast ; a reef extends 200 yards east-north- 

 eastward of it. 



Badger bay extends southward about 6 miles from Duck island. 

 Its western part is divided into five small bays and the central part 

 is occupied by Gull island, which is 400 feet high, w^ooded, and con- 

 spicuous. 



The northern and southern shores of the bay, as well as the west- 

 ern side of Gull island, are fairly clear, but the eastern side of this 

 island has several rocks off it, and from its northeastern point some 

 detached patches, with deep water between them, extend east-north- 

 eastward for f mile, terminating in the Brandies, a small cluster 

 of rocks awash at high w^ater and generally marked by breakers. 



Georg-ies rock bears 14°, distant about i mile from the Brandies, 

 and is j% mile from the eastern shore of the bay; its summit has a 

 depth of 6 feet over it, and north-northeastward and south-south- 

 westward there are depths of 4 and 5 fathoms for about 300 yards. 

 This rock breaks with an easterly swell. 



Leading" marks. — A conspicuous conical mountain, far behind 

 Shoal arm (to the southwestward), just open northwestward of Gull 

 island leads northwestward of Georgies rock, and the Sugarloaf 

 summit seen between two islets in the channel between Duck island 

 and the mainland, bearing 318°, leads close northeastward of it. 



Julies harbor is a small cove in the Avestern corner of Badger 

 bay: its entrance is very narrow and the space inside only affords 

 sufficient room for A^ery small vessels. There are several houses and 

 patches of cultivated ground around this cove.
