SUMMARY OF RESULTS. 
743 
results. At 7.30 p.m. made sail. At 8 p.m. stopped and sounded in 50 fathoms, no 
bottom. At midnight observed the Three Brothers Islands about three or four miles 
ahead. Sounded in 65 fathoms, no bottom. The numerous islands which came in 
sight during this day presented the same appearance as previously noticed at the Arrou 
and Ki Islands — mostly low and flat — some hilly, but all covered with abundant 
vegetation from the shore to the summit. Whilst some of these islands were altogether 
omitted on the chart, the position of others seemed to be incorrectly laid down — a 
condition of affairs now put an end to by the careful observations of the surveying officers 
during this day’s cruise. While trawling, a number of small birds ( Thalassidroma ) were 
observed some distance from the ship, also several frigate birds and one or two gulls.
