shores of the bay are lined with mangroves, and have, generally, 

 extensive mud-flats. There are few facilities here for obtaining either 

 wood or water, as the anchorage is a long distance from the shore. 

 Several small streams enter the bay in its upper part, flowing from 

 some distance in the interior. This was the principal place where 

 the sandalwood was formerly obtained, but it has for some years 

 past been exhausted. I shall defer speaking of this district until I 

 have given an account of the operations of the Peacock.
