678 EAST COAST OF LABEADOE. 



Musket islet, a white bare rock, 25 feet high, lies northeastward 

 400 yards from Transport island. Low rocks extend soiithwestward, 

 and a reef southeastward a little more than 200 yards from it. 



Outer Musket rock, with 9^feet of water over it, bears 76°, distant 

 450 3"ards from ]Musket islet. 



Holloway bight, northwestward ^ mile from Transport island, is 

 1,650 yards deep, ^ mile wide at the mouth, and open to easterly winds 

 that in early summer nearly fill it with icebergs, as the water is deep. 

 There is no anchorage except with westerly winds, and these sweep 

 down in heavy squalls. 



A group of islets extends northward from off this bight to the east- 

 ern end of Hawke island, and no attempt should be made to pass 

 between them and that island, except with local knowledge. 



Upper Bird island. 29 feet high, flat and bare, is situated close off 

 the northern point of Holloway bight. Low rocks extend northwest- 

 ward and northeastward, and a sunken rock, bearing 31°, distant 350 

 yards from Upper Bird island, ends the gi'oup. 



Deepwater island, north-northeastward If miles from Transport 

 island, is two bare rocky hillocks joined by a low neck across which 

 the sea breaks ; the western and higher hillock is 47 feet high. South- 

 eastward of this island is a low black rock with a rock awash close to 

 its northeastern end ; two small islets lie close southwestward. 



Bird island, northwestward of Deepwater island and separated 

 from Hawke island by a narrow channel through which only boats 

 can pass, is a bare dark round hill, 66 feet high. A small cove on the 

 southeastern side of the island affords good shelter for boats, and 

 small vessels find fair summer anchorage southwestward of this island 

 in 3:1 fathoms of water, but a heavy sea rolls in with easterly gales. 

 An islet, 8 feet high, lies southeastward 200 yards from Bird island, 

 and a rock that covers at high water lies close northwestward of the 

 island. 



Black rock, northwestward 200 yards from Deepwater island, is 

 1 foot high, and shoal water extends northeastward and southwest- 

 ward 100 yards from it. 



Beckett rock is 4 feet high, with deep water southeastward and 

 northeastward of it. 



In proceeding to Bird island anchorage pass close northwestward 

 of Deepwater island, and then in mid-channel between Bird island 

 and the islet close southeastward of it. 



Kennedy island, the highest of a group nearly joined to one 

 another, and separated by a narrow shoal channel from Penguin 

 head, the northeastern point of Hawke island, is 77 feet high. 



Turr rocks comprise a brown bare islet in two parts, 16 feet high, 

 lying northeastward 700 yards from Penguin head, and a black islet 

 7 feet high, bearing 92°, distant 335 yards from the brown islet.
