Coast. 
four miles to the eastward, but not at all to the northward, so 
that, with the point bearing to the southward of W. -J S., a 
ship is safe : there is a breaker near the extremity of the reef, 
at about three miles from the point ; to avoid which, keep 
the south end of Magnetical Island well open of the north 
extremity of the cape. 
The peaked summit of MOUNT ELIOT is in latitude 19° 
33' 10", and longitude 146° 54' 25". 
CLEVELAND BAY affords good anchorage in all parts, 
in four, five, and six fathoms ; a considerable flat extends 
for a mile from the shore on the western side of the cape, 
and is left dry at half ebb; it fronts a sandy beach that 
commences at a mile and a half to the south of the cape, 
and extends to the southward for nearly two miles ; over this 
beach, two or three streams of fresh water communicate with 
the sea ; they take their rise from the hills, and probably are 
seldom dry. 
The most convenient watering-place is near the centre of 
the beach, a little to the north ward of the highest hills. Wood 
for fuel is plentiful, and grows close to the beach, and may 
be embarked with facility ; the best place is at the north end 
of the sandy beach, since the boat can be brought nearer to 
the shore to protect the wooding party. 
HALIFAX BAY extends from Cape Cleveland to Point 
Hillock ; it has several islands in it, and is fronted by the 
PALM ISLANDS, the summit of which is in lat. 18° 43' 5", 
Ion. 146° 35' 15": this group consists of nineteen islands, 
one only of which is of large size, being eight miles long and 
three wide; it probably affords all the conveniences of a shel- 
tered anchorage, and a good supply of wood and water.
