and a half fathoms deep, but abreast the south end of the 
south-easternmost shoal there is ten and a half fathoms. 
l, a circular coral reef, a mile and a half in diameter, 
with a dry rock at its east end, in latitude 12° 9' 5", and 
longitude 143° IT. 
YOUNG ISLAND, a small islet on a coral reef of about 
half a mile in extent, in latitude 12° 6' 50", and longitude 
143° 7". (See Vol. i. p. 236.) 
m, a coral reef, about two and a half miles long, having a 
dry rock at its north end ; it bears S. 40° W., three miles 
from the summit of Haggerston’s Island. 
n, an extensive, irregular-shaped, coral reef, seven miles 
long, and from one to four broad; it is separated from 
O by a narrow tortuous channel, but not safe to pass 
through : both n and o are covered. There is a safe pas- 
sage between these reefs and Daggers ton’s Island, of a 
mile and a half wide; but there is a small reef detached 
from the north-west end of n, which should be avoided, 
although there is probably sufficient depth of water over it 
for any ship : it was seen from the summit of the island, 
from whence another coral patch was observed at about one 
mile to the westward, of which we saw no signs, 
p is a small reef, of about a mile and a quarter in extent ; 
it was seen from the summit of Haggerston’s Island, as was 
also another reef, seven miles S.b.E. from it : the positions 
of these reefs are doubtful. 
HAGGERSTON’S ISLAND is high and rocky ; the sum- 
mit is in latitude 12° 1" 40", and longitude 143° 12"; it is 
situated at the S.S.AV. extremity of a coral reef, of nearly
