It is separated from Coast. the islands of Sir Everard Horne'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 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 � 40", and longitude 143 �. 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 �, five or six miles to the E.N.E. of Sir Everard Horne's Group.
