VOYAGE OF THE POTOMAC. 
[March, 
On the north side of Pulo Lagoondy is a small bay called 
Naanga Harbour, with the small island of Pulo Patappan in the 
middle of its entrance, on the east side of which is the best pas- 
sage into the harbour, by borrowing near the shore of Pulo La- 
goondy. The depths are here from fifteen to ten fathoms, and 
inside the harbour from twelve to seven fathoms, where a ship 
may moor secure from all winds, and careen, if necessary. 
Rajah Bassa Road, situated directly under the highland called 
Refreshment Head, which forms the east side of Lampoon Bay, 
is an excellent place for procuring good water with facility ; to- 
gether with refreshments, such as turtle, fowls, buffaloes, oranges, 
plantains, &c. But the purchaser must always be on his guard 
against treachery. Large vessels ought not to anchor in less 
than ten fathoms ; for although the soundings decrease regularly 
over a soft bottom to six or seven fathoms in general, yet the 
shore is fronted by a rocky bank, which projects out to five or six 
fathoms in some places,, and is also quite steep. 
Rajah Bassa Peak, also called Ejow Peak, is about one thou- 
sand six hundred feet in height. The anchoragfe of the road op- 
posite is in latitude 5° 50' south, and it is about seven miles east 
of Crockatoa Peak, or in longitude 105° 32' east. The water 
deepens to twenty-five and twenty-seven fathoms towards the 
Three Brothers, three isles which are situated about four miles 
west-by-north from Cocoanut Point, which is the south extremity 
of Rajah Bassa Road. There is a depth of eighteen fathoms in 
the gut between the middle and south Brothers. In coming from 
the eastward, these three islands appear as one, and do not begin 
to open until the vessel approaches Rajah Bassa Road. The 
depths in crossing Lampoon Bay to Pulo Lagoondy are from 
thirteen to nineteen fathoms, regular soundings and good an- 
chorage. 
Cocoanut Point is low, overhung by cocoanut-trees, from 
whence the coast tends easterly, forming a concavity between it 
and Hog Point. The land is rather low near the latter, but rises 
gradually to an elevated peak, about a league eastward of Cocoa- 
nut Point. 
The northeastern boundary of the Sunda Strait, on the Suma- 
tra side, is a sharp projection of land, called Tanjong Toca, or 
Hog Point, which is situated about four leagues to the southeast
