702 EAST COAST OF LABEADOE. 



The channel betAveen South head and Devils Lookout has not been 

 examined, and it should not be used for navigation. 



Quakers Hat island lies in the channel at about ^ mile off South 

 head. 



Lookout rocks, situated northwestward, about 1 mile from South 

 head of Table bay, are two fiat islets which should not be approached 

 within I mile. 



Collingham island, northward 1 mile from Devils Lookout, 

 rises in a conical hill, 333 feet high, and its eastern coast is steep 

 bluffs. Some low islets lie about ^ mile northward from the island, 

 and the channel between must not be taken. 



Bird islands, lying northwestward about 2^ miles from Halfway 

 island, are two in number; the western island is 170 feet high and 

 conical; the eastern island is 77 feet high and flat-topped. There is 

 a low black rock off the western point of the eastern island, and a 

 rock, that breaks, lies westward 300 yards from it. 



South Flat island, lying west-northwestward, distant If miles 

 from the western Bird island, is about 50 feet high, and in two parts, 

 which are nearly joined together; the ground for 300 yards north- 

 westward and southwestward of the island is foul. 



North Flat island, lying northwestward rather more than 1 mile 

 from South Flat island, is about 70 feet high. 



Table bay. — North head of Table bay bears north-northwestward, 

 distant 4 miles from South head, and from between them Table bay 

 extends westward for 11 miles, narrowing gradually to the head. 



Entry or South Duck island lies south-southeastward, distant 

 about 1^ miles from Table Bay point, the eastern point of North 

 head ; a reef extends westward about 600 yards from the island. 



Ledge island lies in the middle of the bay at 3J miles within Entry 

 island, and a reef extends westward If miles from its western side. 

 The passages, both northward and southward of the island, are 

 narrow. There is only a depth of 4 fathoms in the southern passage. 

 A shoal, with 3 fathoms of water over it, bears 319°, distant rather 

 more than i; mile from the northeastern point of Ledge island, and 

 a sunken rock lies in mid-channel bearing 257°, distant ly^ miles 

 from the western point of Ledge island in the northern passage. 



South road. — Anchorage in 15 fathoms of water can be obtained 

 in South road, southward from the middle of Ledge island. 



Table harbor, at the head of the bay, affords good anchorage in 

 7 to 11 fathoms of water; it is approached from either side of Ledge 

 island. 



A shoal extends southward about 200 yards from the northern 

 entrance point of this harbor, and all the points in the harbor are 

 foul for a short distance. Between the second point inward on the 

 northern shore (off which th6re is a small islet) and the opposite
