N. East 
Coast. 
Off the north head of Newcastle Bay, which forms the 
south-east trend of the land of Cape York, is a group of high 
rocky islands, ALBANY ISLES; and immediately off the 
point is a reef, which extends for about a mile ; half a mile 
without its edge, we had ten fathoms. 
The islets 12, 13, and 15, were only seen at a distance. 
THE BROTHERS, so called in Lieutenant Bligh’s chart, 
are two high rocks upon a reef. 
ALBANY ISLES contain six islands, of which one only 
is of large size ; the easternmost has a small peak, and a reef 
extends for less than a quarter of a mile from it; the peak is 
in latitude 10° 43' 45", and longitude 142° 35' 5". 
YORK ISLES is a group about seven miles from the 
main land ; the principal island, which is not more than two 
miles long, has a very conspicuous flat-topped hill upon 
it. Mount Adolphus^, in latitude 10° 38' 20'', and 
longitude 142° 36' 25". Off the south-east end of this 
island are two rocky islets, the southernmost of which is 
more than a mile distant ; the northern group of the York 
Isles are laid down from Captain Flinders. 
CAPE YORK, the northernmost land of New South 
Wales, has a conical hill half a mile within its extremity, 
* There is a bay on the west side of Mount Adolphus, but it ap- 
peared shoal . — Roe MS» 
Four miles to the north of x are two shoals y and z, both 
of which are covered ; y is two miles and a half long, and 
Z three miles and a quarter ; neither of them appeared to be 
a mile in width ; the north-west end of Z, when in a line 
with Mount Adolphus, bears N. 19° W.
