Jigger island, east-southeastward 1 mile from the eastern end of 

 Five islands, is flat, 53 feet high, and reefs extend 300 yards off its 

 western side. 



The Cubs, eastward, ^ mile from Jigger island, are two bare islets, 

 42 and 40 feet high, and steep-to, with a small rock between them. 



White Bear islands constitute the group of islands at the eastern 

 end of the chain of islands extending eastward from the mainland 

 at the northern entrance to Hamilton inlet. 



North island, northeastward ^ mile from the Cubs, has a sharp 

 peaked summit 263 feet high ; it is bold-to except at the northeastern 

 end, 250 yards off which is an islet 27 feet high; bearing 96°, distant 

 200 yards from the islet is a sunken rock, and bearing 79°, distant 

 350 yards from the islet, is a shoal with 13 feet of water over it ; 

 both these shoals break in a heavy swell. 



Middle island, southeastward, 1,200 yards from North island, is 

 barren and rugged, rising in two flat hills, 190 feet and 180 feet high, 

 respectively ; it is steep-to, except on the southwestern side, off which 

 a rocky spit extends into the western entrance of the harbor.

 tively, lying close together in an easterly and westerly direction at 

 about 400 yards southward of Middle island. Gull islet, a rock 54 

 feet high, lies southwestward 250 yards from the western South 

 island.

 the fishery. An islet 28 feet high lies in the eastern entrance to 

 the harbor, and there is a shoal, with 6 feet of water over it, bearing
