two miles in length ; its northern side is furnished with some 
trees and a sandy beach. At the north end of the reef are 
two dry patches of sand and rocks. It is separated from 
the islands of Sir Everard Home’s Group by a channel 
nearly three miles wide, quite free from danger; but in 
passing through it, the tide or current sets to the N.N.W., . 
round the reef off Haggerston’s Island. (See Vol. i. p. 382.) 
SIR EVERARD HOME’S GROUP consists of six islands : 
the two south -westernmost are rocky, and one of them has 
two peaks upon it, which, from the southward, have the ap- 
pearance of being upon the extremity of Cape Grenville : the 
south-easternmost has a hillock, or clump of trees, at its 
south-east extremity, in latitude 11° 57' 40", and longitude 
143° IP. The outer part of this group is bold to, and the 
islands may be approached, but the space within them ap- 
peared to be rocky : there is a passage between the group 
and Cape Grenville. The merchant ship Lady Elliot in 
passing through it, found overfalls with eighteen fathoms. 
Round Cape Grenville is MARGARET BAY, fronted by 
Sunday Island, elevated and rocky, but not so high as 
Haggerston’s Island, with good anchorage under its lee. 
q is a covered reef, of about a mile in extent, in latitude 
11° 55', five or six miles to the E.N.E. of Sir Everard Home’s 
Group. 
SIR CHARLES HARDY’S ISLANDS are high and rocky, 
and may be seen five or six leagues off ; the summit is in 
latitude 11° 53' 20", and longitude 143° 23' 40".
