Coast. 
coast trends round to the southward for thirty miles to a 
bay, which also has a small opening at the bottom; five 
miles inland there is a range of hills, on which two, of flat- 
topped summits, are conspicuous ; and,, at a distance, assume 
the appearance of islands. They are the Barthelemy Hills. 
A few miles to the westward is PORT KEATS. Tree 
Point, in latitude 13° 59' 20", longitude 130° 34', the 
eastern head of the port, is surrounded by a reef, which 
extends from it for more than three miles. The west side 
has also a reef, but of much more considerable size, 
stretching to the northward of Cape Hay for fifteen miles ; 
near its extremity there is a patch of dry rocks, occupying an 
extent of two miles. The channel within the heads is from 
two to four miles wide, and has anchorage in it between 
six and seven fathoms, mud. The port gradually contracts as 
it approaches the narrow mouth of the inlet to a mile and a 
half ; it then trends to the south for six miles, where it is di- 
vided into two arms, that run up for six or seven miles more 
to the foot of a range of wooded hills, one of which is Mount 
Goodwin. The western side of the inlet is occupied by a 
bank of clay, that dries at low water. At about three 
miles within the narrow entrance on the western side, there 
is an inlet, and above this the anchorage is good, the bot- 
tom being of clay, in which is mixed a small iron-stone 
pebble : between the inlet and the narrows, the bottom is 
deep and rocky. 
Between Cape Hay, in latitude 14° 1' 30", and longitude 
130° 27' 30", and POINT PEARCE, in latitude 14° 28' 30", 
longitude 130° 17' 15", the coast is still low, and was only 
seen at a distance. Off the latter point there is a reef which 
does not extend to a greater distance than a mile and a half.
