beach of some length. The mountains at its head are not so high as 

 those in the last bay, and if Tasoo Harbour, on the west coast of 

 Moresby's Island is correctly placed, the distance across to it from the 

 head of this inlet cannot be great. I did not hear, however, that the 

 Indians have any trail across from this place. The most conspicuous 

 peak in the vicinity of Crescent Inlet is on its north side, at the angle 

 of the bend. This mountain is about 3000 feet in height, with a sharp 

 summit, which at some j^oints of view appears to be tripple. It is 

 partly bare and was named Red Top. 



Prom the wide indentation of the coast which is named Laskeek Bay, Waters open- 

 four large inlets run westward, of these the two southern, which have Laskeek Bay. 

 been named Richardson and Logan Inlets, open into the head of Darwin 

 Sound. Richardson Inlet is about ten miles in length, with an average 

 length of about one and a half miles. Its southern side is formed by 

 Lyell Island, its northern by Kun-ga Tan-oo and Inner Islands, from east 

 to west. The inlet is straight with moderately bold shores, Kun-ga 

 Island is over 1000 feet in height, forming a good mark at its entrance. 

 There is a low rocky reef, however, some distance east of the outer 

 point of Kun-ga, and a second off the south point of the same island. 

 Near Dog Island there are several small islets and rocks. The channels 

 between Kun-ga and Tan-oo and the latter and Inner Islands are proba- 

 bly deep, though the first should be navigated with caution, and care 

 taken to avoid the east end of Tan-oo Island, as several rocks and 

 patches with kelp lie off the Indian village there. About three and a 

 half miles west of Dog Island, on the south side of Richardson Inlet, is 

 a cove, where a small schooner can find a convenient anchorage, — 

 probably the nearest stopping place to Laskeek village. There is a 

 ruined Indian house in the cove. The western end of Richardson Inlet 

 is contracted to a width of about a quarter of a mile, and obstructed by 

 a small island and several recks. The tide runs through the passage 

 with considerable force, and it is unsuited as an approach to Echo Har- 

 bour, though the most direct way in from the sea. A-tli Inlet, about 

 three miles deep, and with two main arms, was sketched from its outer 

 points. It did not aj>pear to be a good harbour. 



Logan Inlet is about seven miles in length, with a small bold rock, Logan iuier. 

 covered with trees — Flower-pot Island — in its mouth. One other small 

 island lies close to the shore on its southern side, but it is otherwise 

 free from obstructions, and constitutes a fine navigable channel, and 

 the best approach to Echo Harbour. Vessels should enter to the north 

 of Flower-pot Island, and keep on up the centre of the channel. 

 Kun-ga Island, as already mentioned, is high, having been estimated at 

 1500 feet. Ti-tul Island, small and with low limestone cliffs, lies off 

 its north point. Tan-oo and Inner Islands are also bold, rising to
