APPENDIX. 
At the back of Capstan Rock there is a hill, named Sheudi, upon which the upper town is 
built. The highest southern point of this is one of the landmarks to which I shall have to 
refer. 
Having opened out the Capstan Rock, haul towards Abbey Reef, and bring the right- 
hand hummock about 4° to the east of Kami Head, and steering in with these marks on, you will 
pass through the south channel in about seven fathoms water, over the tail of Blossom Rock. 
You may now round Abbey Reef tolerably close, and steer in for the anchorage. Shoidd the 
wind veer to the eastward in the passage between Blossom Rock and Abbey Point, with the 
above-mentioned marks on, you must not stand to the northward, unless the outer cluster of 
trees near the extremity of Wood Point are in one with, or open to the westward of. Table Hill, 
a square rocky headland to the southward of it. This mark clears also the tongue of Oar 
Reef, which with Blossom Rock forms the other western channel. 
It is advisable, with the wind to the north-eastward, to beat through the channel north of 
Blossom Rock (Oar Channel), in preference to that above mentioned. To do this, bring ihe false 
capstan-head in one with a flat cluster of trees on the ridge to the rightqf the first gap south 
of Sheudi; this will clear the north tongue of Blossom Rock; but unless the lable Hill be 
open to the eastward of Wood Hill, you must not stand to the southward, but tack directly 
the water shoals to less than twelve fathoms, and endeavour to enter with the marks on. 
Having passed to the N. E. of Blossom Rock, which you will know by W^ood Hill being 
seen to the right of Table Hill, stand towards Abbey Point as close as you please ; then 
tack, and on nearing Oar Reef take care of a tongue which extends to the eastward of it, 
and be careful to tack immediately the outer trees of Wood Point open with Abbey Point. 
In entering at either of the western channels, remember that the flood-tide sets to the north- 
ward over Blossom’s Rock, and the ebb to the southward. 
The best anchorage is in Barnpool, at the N. E. part of the bay, in seven fathoms 
water, where a vessel may ride in perfect security. The outer anchorage, I should think, 
would be dangerous with a hard westerly gale. The Blossom anchored there in fourteen 
fathoms muddy bottom: Abbey Bluff, S. 43° 20 W^. ; Capstan Rock, S. 75 40 E. ; (mag.); 
variation 53' 59" E. 
The entrance to Barnpool lies between Barnhead and the reef off Capstan Rock. In 
entering, you are not to approach Barnhead nearer than to bring the north tangent of Hole 
Rock (to the northward of Capstan Rock) in one with the before-mentioned clump of 
trees on the hill south of Sheudi, until the point of the burying ground (Cemetery Point) 
is seen just clear of Capstan Head. You may anchor in any part of Barnpool. 
As the northern channel into Napakiang is very dangerous, I shall not tempt any per- 
son to sail through it, by giving directions for it. 
It is high water at Napakiang at 6 h. 28 m., full and change ; rise from five to seven and 
a half feet, but this was very irregular during our stay at the place. 
ARZOBISPO ISLANDS. 
PORT LLOYD. 
This group of islands lies N. by E. and S. by W., and is divided into three clusters, 
extending from 27° 44' 35" N. to 26° 30' N., and beyond. In my narrative, p. 520, I have
