” On the northwest side I discovered the mouth of a 
cave,veiy small at the entrance .into which I went with 
my ooat, and proceeded, as near as I can judge, about 
one hundred yards; and , judging from the beating of the 
seas against the sides, and the acho from the top, I 
supposed it to be there, forty yards wide, and twenty yards 
high. We were, however, in perfect obscurity, and the 
apprehension of not finding my way out again prevented 
my proceeding farther. The water was ever^ where of 
sufficient depth to float a ship of the ]^e , and in this 
cavern , and at its mouth, we caught the most of our fish.” 
This looks as if it may be a good place for you. When 
I was at Wenman I was too busy gathering in geckos to do 
much exploring, so I did not see this cave. I thou^t you 
might like these items for your note book; hence the brain 
storm. 
Very truly yours
