STRAIT OF SUNDA,

half or^ two miles distant. On the east side of the point lies 
Welcome Bay, extending a great way into the land, and containing 
several islets and shoals, particularly on the west side. The 
eastern side is more clear, with good shelter in the southeast mon- 
soon ; but in the westerly monsoon this bay ought to be avoided. 
Third Point, or Tanjong Lussong, is in latitude 6° 27' south, 
separating Welcome Bay from Pepper Bay, the latter being situ- 
ated on the east side of this point, and it bears nearly northeast- 
by-east-half-east, five or six leagues from Second Point. To the 
eastward of the point there is an islet inside of Pepper Bay, with a 
shoal to the northwest, rendering the approach to it dangerous, 
which is the case throughout Pepper Bay, the water being generally 
shoal. When a ship is abreast of Third Point, about a league 
distant, a small island is seen at the northeast part of Pepper 
Bay, bearing about east-by-north, but will then be confounded 
with the contiguous coast. If intending to touch there, it will be- 
prudent to steer across the bay, keeping the island on the star- 
board bow, and not borrow towards the shoal water near the Java 
shore. This little island is called Seriguy, or Paulo Papapale. 
Fourth Point, or Tanjong Cicorang, is situated about four and a 
half leagues north-by-east from Seriguy. This point is low to sea- 
ward ; and most of the coast between it and Welcome Bay is 
low, interspersed with hills in some places, and abounding with 
cocoanuts. On coasting along between Seriguy and Fourth 
Point, a ship should keep a league or more from the shore, in 
soundings from twenty to thirty fathoms, in order that she may 
be enabled to come to anchor, if calms and contrary currents 
shoidd render it necessary. If a ship, having entered Prince's 
Strait, be abreast of Second Point, she ought to steer a direct 
course for Fourth Point, bearing nearly northeast from the former, 
distant about thirteen leagues ; or, having entered by the great 
channel to the north of Prince's Island, she should run for the 
same point if she intend to stop at Anger Road, or is bound to 
Batavia, — for it will be prudent to keep near the Java coast during 
the monthly monsoon, and to pass between it and Thwart-the- 
Way, whether bound to Batavia or Banca Strait. From Second 
Point to Fourth Point there is generally good ground for anchor- 
ing, occasionally in eighteen to twenty fathoms. 
Anger, or Angere Village, is in latitude 6° 3' 30" south, longitude
