SNAPPER ISLAND lies off the point which forms the ' northern limit of Trinity Bay; it is small, and does not supply any water '. The land behind (3AtZ TltXBULATIOr may be seen at greater distance than twenty leagues. It is here that the (Mater pt of the barrier reefs approach the coast, and thers is reason to believe that, in latitude 16 � 35", longitude 14 � 40", they are not mor than twenty miles from it. The cape has a hillock at its extremity, and a small rocky Met close to the shore that renders it conspicuous: it is fourteen miles .beyond Snapper Island. The shore appears to be bold to: at three m;les off we had sixteen fathoms. Ten miles further to the northward is ]LOMItl]LD*S VOLST in Weary Bay: it is blocked up by a rocky bar, having only four feet water over it; the anchorage off it is too much exposed to be safe, The fiver runs up for four or five miles, having soundings within it from three to four fathoms, its entrance is in 15 � The coast then extends to the nott to Eadenvour River, and forms a few inconsiderable sinuosities; it is backed by high land, particularly abreast of the Hope Islands. These islands open of each other in a N. 39 �direction, and pear to be connected by a shoal; it is however very likely that a narrow passage may exist betwoes them, but oer- tabfly not safe to sail through. �Much shoal water was seen, to the northward of Green Island, from the Tamar's mast head.mRoe  Ten or eleven miles S. 80 �from Snapper Island is the north-west end oF a shoal, extending to.the S. 41 �for sixteen or �., vestees miles: the Tmtr altobored trader jt.wRo
