GEOROE INLET STREAM AND LAKE. 
The southern side of Revillagigedo Island is penetrated by three deep inlets, the 
western one of which is known as George Inlet. At its head a small cove, making to 
the northward immediately west of Bat Point, receives the waters of a stream, a lake 
outlet, which carries redfish. 
This stream was examined, by a party in charge of Ensign Kemptf, on June 5. 
It Hows in a tortuous channel in a general easterly direction, at first, upon leaving 
the lake, through low grassy flats, while nearer the mouth it passes between rugged 
hills carrying in the lower half of its course numerous rapids. It is about 4 miles 
long, 50 feet wide, and 14 feet deep, with a current of 3 to 4 knots. The bed 
throughout the rugged hills is of rock, slate, and gravel, while that portion through 
the flats is largely of mud. The water is clear, of brownish tinge, and on June 5 
had a temperature of 59° F. 
There is an island half a mile from the mouth and another the same distance 
from the lake. About one-fourth of a mile above the lower island a small trib- 
utary, 31 feet wide and 4 inches deep, enters from the SW. About one-fourth of 
a mile above the mouth are the remains of a barricade. The log was in place, but 
most of the rails that had supported a lath fencing had been swept away. Some of 
the fencing, interwoven with wire, was near at hand. 
The first lake is about one mile in length with an extreme width of two-thirds of 
a mile, the main axis lying in a general north-and-south direction. It lies in a low 
basin and has a shallow appearance, pond lilies in places extending 200 yards from 
the shore line. The beaches consist of rock, gravel, and mud. A conical hill, about 
250 feet high, rises over a prominent point on the eastern shore. The lake has an 
elevation of 240 feet above tide water, and the temperature of the surface water was 
59° F. on June 5. 
On the eastern side, one- half mile from the extreme southern end, is a stream 
connecting Lake No. 1 with No. 2. It is one-half mile long, 30 feet wide, from 2 to 
6 feet deep, and runs with a strong current over a gravel and mud bottom. The 
water has a brownish tinge, and on June 5 had a temperature of 59° F. The lakes 
are also connected by a slough, which enters the first lake at its southern end. 
Lake No. 2 is of irregular form and has an extreme length of II miles by an 
extreme width of one-half mile. It has a rather shallow appearance, but is deeper 
apparently than the first lake. Tim beaches are of rock, gravel, and mud; elevation 
above tide water, 245 feet; temperature, June 5, 59° F.
