PYRAMID ISLAND THREE BROTHERS. 745 



Kikkertaksoak to Zoar. — From off the middle of the western side 

 of Kikkertaksoak, a course of 294°, for 5 miles leads northward of 

 a group of small islets, the western of which, named Pakertuk, is 

 140 feet high. Thence steer 277° for 5f miles to the northern point 

 of Tunungayualak, a little hillock joined to the main island. Keep 

 about I mile off the coast of Tunungayualak, steering southwestward 

 for 5 miles in mid-channel between that island and Aklatalik and 

 Tunungayaksoak, to the northwestward, the former island being 

 about 500 feet high with numerous conical mounds, and passing close 

 to an islet about 60 feet high. Proceed through the channel between 

 Tuktuinak and Tunungayaksoak as already directed. 



Kikkertaksoak to Ford harbor. — The natives report that there is 

 a clear passage between these places, to navigate which steer .327° for 

 15 miles from the southwestern end of Kikkertaksoak (Spracklings 

 island) to another island named Kikkertaksoak (Big island), about 

 300 feet high and flat in outline, thence 2°, 4 miles to Sioralik (Sandy 

 island), so named from the color. Keep the western point of Sioralik 

 close aboard to avoid a shoal, whence a course of 316° for 6 miles 

 leads to Ford harbor. 



Flat rock, bearing 356°, distant 9| miles from the eastern Kidlit, 

 is 40 feet high, in two parts, lying northeastward and southwestward 

 of each other, and the northeastern side is bold-to. 



Negro island, the northern end of which lies south-southwest- 

 ward, distant 2 miles from Flat rock, has three hillocks, the middle 

 one of which, 150 feet high, is round and very black, contrasting 

 strongly with the remainder of the island, which is light in color. 



Pyramid island, north-northwestward, distant 4^ miles from 

 Negro island, is about 200 feet high and appears as one pyramid on 

 southwesterly bearings and as two pyramids on northwesterly bear- 

 ings. 



A breaker lies north-northeastward, distant ^ mile from the 

 northern end, and the outer of three rocks bears east-southeastward, 

 distant 1 mile from the southern end of Pyramid island. This outer 

 rock is 40 feet high and has a large bowlder on its summit. 



Hen and Chickens, the eastern rock of which lies northward, dis- 

 tant 3^ miles from Pyramid island, make up a chain of seven rocks 

 which are above high water and lie in a line bearing nearly eastward 

 and westward. The middle rock, which is the highest, is about 40 

 feet high and is situated in latitude 56° 29'. longitude 60° 36' west 

 of Greenwich. 



Three Brothers, bearing 327°, distant 9 miles from Hen and 

 Chickens, are three islets, the southern and highest of which is about
