The Rocky Islets. 



Eleven miles in seven hours is not good sailing but it was 

 afternoon when we landed on the Rocky Islets — the Pulo Man- 

 dariki of the Malays. They consist of two small barren islets 

 and a rock. The sea is steep to all round and the schooner lay 

 on and off with a kedge anchor hanging down while we care- 



* It is interesting to note that no birds smaller than the fly 

 catcher have effected a lodgement on the Tambelan group.
