quiet bit of water. On March 1st like a millpona, though it was windy and 
rough out in the harbor. • 
I do not particularly fancy the Bonaparte Point site because of its 
exceeding roekiness - large jagged^ broken rocks, ai^ a rather uneven 
gullied (or is it ridg^) terrain. The Inlet, thoi:^. a piece of very quiet 
vfater beautifully protected from wir^ and wave, rai^t be a very dangerous 
place. It narrows down to about 80 feet in width, and on the riglit hand

Getting fresh water would be more of a problem tima at Base 1? where 
it could be com'eniently piped from the lar^ and quite deep fresh water

hold many ti&ss the lo-eeent amount of water without damming; or much of 
one, but the supply of water seems ample for the needs cnp aiy station

could walk about on rocks and still not "be” or get anywhere. 
True, tte boat landing is not of the best but it could as easily be
