To the south of Cape Talbot the !and trends in and forms a bay twelve miles deep, and wide, that was not examland. It is fronted by SIR GRAHAM MOORE'S ISLANDS, one of which is eight miles long, and low, excepting at the east and, where there is a fiat-topped hill; there is also other remarkable summit on n smaller island, to the north of the principal island.
