constant washing of the sea, are in a very dilapidated state, and 
dangerous to remain in during windy weather. 
There are several Arab encampments a short distance from the 
Ras ; from which small supplies of fresh provision may be procured. 
North-eastward of Ras Tabilbey, there is a cliff of white sand-stone, 
somewhat conspicuous, with some sunken rocks lying off it. The 
rocks bear north 9" west (true), from the northern one of two conical 
hills, that will be seen situated between the before-mentioned Cape 
and Ras Tabilbey ; they are two or three miles off shore. Eastward 
of the white cliff there is a deep ravine, and then a remarkable 
peaked hill, called Allum Limarish. Between these two is situated 
Ain Agan, an Arab encampment, from which small supplies of meat, 
corn, and brackish water may be procured. 
North 38° west (true) from Allum Limarish, there is a remarkably 
white rock, about forty feet in height and steep on all sides, with 
reefs of breakers extending east and west from it. It lies about half 
a mile off shore, and is known by the name of Ishaifa. From the 
top of Allum Limarish, we observed the sea breaking heavily over 
some reefs three or four miles off shore, and appeared to extend 
toward the island of Gara. 
Gara is a small island, bearing north 13° east (true), from Allum 
Limarish, and distant from the shore four miles and a half. It is 
tolerably high, and appeared steep on all sides. South-west (true) 
from Gara at two miles and a half distance, a rock makes its appear- 
ance among a reef of breakers ; and south 16° east (true), three 
miles, another. There is also a bank east by south (true), three 
miles from it, over which the sea constantly broke. 
The coast about here is low and sandy, and, in consequence of 
the above-mentioned reefs, somewhat dangerous to be approached ; 
but when Gara and its reefs shall be better known, I have no doubt 
ships will find shelter from all winds within them. 
Several hills, covered with brushwood, will be, seen a short 
distance from the coast, and near the beach there will be found wells 
of water somewhat brackish, and strongly impregnated with sulphur.
