OLD KING DEVILS LOOKOUT. 701 



Old King, a shoal with 7 feet of water over it, bears 243°, distant 

 600 yards from the southern Black rock. 



Sand Hill cove, westward, 2J miles from cape Greep, affords good 

 summer anchorage for fishing vessels, and is much frequented; but 

 shoals extend from its shores and render it unsuitable for large 

 vessels, 



South Wolf island is one large island with some smaller islands 

 close northward and southward of it, the group being 2| miles in 

 length northward and southward; the highest and main island, 

 in the middle, rises in a flat range, and on its summit, which is 

 311 feet high and lies north-northeastward 6 miles from Indian head, 

 is a conical bowlder. On its southern side is a cove in which there 

 is very good shelter for fishing vessels. The best entrance is south- 

 ward of an islet 27 feet high, lying between the main and southern 

 islands; after passing it keep the eastern side of the cove aboard to 

 the head. Rocks, with 9 feet of water over them, lie on the western 

 side of the cove, but there is a clear passage 200 yards wide to the 

 head. 



The two northern islets, which are joined except at high water 

 springs, are separated from the main island by a channel 150 yards 

 wide, with a depth of 3| fathoms close along the northern shore. 

 Shoal water extends northward nearly i mile from these islets. 



North Wolf rock, Ij^ing northward, 1^ miles from South Wolf 

 islets, is 38 feet high, bare, dark, and steep-to around. 



Little Wolf island, bearing 214°, distant 2 miles from North 

 Wolf rock, is small and 157 feet high. 



North Wolf island, westward 1 mile from South AVolf island, is 

 flat-topped and 135 feet high; a group of islets close to its southeast- 

 ern and southwestern sides forms a good boat harbor on the eastern 

 side. The eastern islet is dome-shaped, and the harbor is entered on 

 either side of it, but in the middle of the eastern entrance is a rock 

 with 3 feet of water over it, and 9 fathoms close-to. The most 

 sheltered anchorage is at the western end in 2 to 3 fathoms of water, 

 off a deep cleft in the main island. 



Round Wolf island, southwestward about 1 mile from the North 

 Wolf group, is 245 feet high. 



Offer Red island, westward 1| miles from Round Wolf island, is 

 flat-topped and 200 feet high, with red cliffs on the northwestern side. 



Halfway island, west-northwestward 4^ miles from Offer Red 

 island, is 278 feet high, and makes as a flat-topped cone. 



The coast from Sand Hill cove trends northwestward for 4| miles 

 to South head of Table bay. 



Devils Lookout, east-northeastward 1 mile from South head of 

 Table bay, is 384 feet high, and rocky patches, with 12 feet of water 

 over them, lie 200 yards off its eastern side.
