WILD BIGHT — TEANSPORT ISLAND. 677 



and Fox and Hen islands, touching and bearing 203°, lead between 

 the Skerries and White point. 



Wild bight, situated on the northern side of White point, affords 

 shelter for a few boats, but a heavy sea rolls in there with easterly 

 winds, destroying the fishing stages, and even sweeping away the 

 houses on its shores. 



Red island, north-northeastward, distant 1 mile from White point, 

 is 83 feet high, and has a double summit. 



Hawke island, separated from the northern side of Stony island 

 by a channel 1,200 yards wide, rises in several craggy hills of dark 

 rock, the highest of which are 532 to 477 feet high, with numerous 

 bowlders over both summits and slopes. 



Hawke harbor, on the southern coast, affords good anchorage in 

 10 fathoms of water, mud bottom, within some rocks that lie across 

 the passage about ^ mile from the head. The western channel is 

 clear, but the eastern is shallow. 



Styles harbor, at the southeastern end of the island, is within a 

 small peninsula 80 feet high, joined by a narrow neck to the main- 

 land. The harbor extends northwestward 200 yards, and then turns 

 sharply southwestward for 500 yards, with a breadth of 100 yards, 

 and it affords excellent sheltered anchorage for fishing craft in 2 

 fathoms of water. 



The Pig, a rock 1 foot high, bears 220°, distant h mile from the 

 entrance to Styles harbor; and Harbor island, 14 feet high, lies 

 southeastward 300 yards from the same entrance. 



Mad Moll, with 6 feet of water over it and deep water around, 

 bears 197°, distant 450 yards from Harbor island. The white islet 

 at the western entrance point to Hawke harbor in line with Pig rock, 

 bearing 287°, leads southward; the western end of Transport island, 

 open westward of Harbor island, bearing 19°, leads westward; and 

 open eastward of Harbor island, bearing 359°, leads eastward of this 

 rock. 



Black rock, bearing 87°, distant 400 yards from Harbor island, is 

 8 feet high, and steep-to. 



In entering or leaving Styles harbor pass on either side of Harbor 

 island or Black rock. 



Styles rock, with 3 fathoms of water over it, bears 160°, distant 

 700 yards from Black rock, and the water deepens quickly southeast- 

 ward and northwestward of it. White point, well open eastward of 

 Red island, bearing 202°, leads eastward ; and the tolt on White point, 

 open westward of Red island, bearing 205°, leads westward of this 

 rock. 



Transport island, separated from the southeastern end of Hawke 

 island by a channel 50 yards wide, through which a depth of 12 feet 

 can be carried, is 116 feet high.
