 northern end of Duck island, are 30 feet high, and steep around. 



The Thoroughfare, separating Irelands Eye island from Random 

 island, is 1| miles in length, and at its southern entrance are several 

 rocky islets; Thoroughfare rock, the eastern islet, is 11 feet high, and 

 there is a channel. 100 yards wide, with 8 fathoms water, between 

 it and the southwestern point of Irelands Eye island.

 western part of Irelands Eye island; the outer and largest islet is 

 145 feet high.

 bearing about 51°, distant 400 yards, dries 3 feet, and is the only rock 

 in the Thoroughfare not alwaA^s above water.
