TRIAL BAY, so named by Lieutenant Oxley, who an- chored in it on a SeCond expedition to examine Port Mac- quade previous to its being settled, is a convenient roadsteid during southerly winds: it is situated on the north side of Smoky Cape, and affords an anchorage in three fathoms, protected from the sea as far as N.E.b.E. Fresh water may be procured from a stream that runs over the beach. Four miles to the no'th of Smoky Cape is an inlet having a bar harbour, on which there is but eight feet water. SHOAL BAY is the next harbour to the northward: the following description of it is from Captain Flinders, (Flinders' Terra Australis, Introduction, cxev.) "On the south side of the entrance, which is the'deepest, there is ten feet at low wtter; and within side' the depth is from two to four fathoms, in a channel near the south shore: the rest of the bay is mostly occupied by shoals, over which boats can scarcely pass when the tide is out. High water appeared to take place about' seven hours after the moon's passage; at which time a ship not drawing more than four- teen feet, might venture in, if severely pressed.' Shoal Bay is difficult to be found except by its latitude, which is 29 �6t', but there is on the low land about four leagues to the southward, a small hill somewhat peaked, which may serve as a mark to vessels coming from that direction."
