 600 yards from the southeastern point of Cut Throat island, and is a 

 conical mound 96 feet high ; the southwestern island lies south-south- 

 westward 900 yards from the northeastern, and is a similar mound 65

 of Ponsonby island, is a curved ridge of basalt, 140 feet high, and

A shoal,, with 13 feet of water over it, bears 74°, distant 1,500 yards 

 from Bacalhao island, and a shoal, with 3 fathoms of water over it, 

 bears 242°, distant 900 yards from the western end of Big island, 

 both shoals being in the channel between the two islands.
