On the western ide of Adele Island, is an extensive patch of light-coloured water, in some parts of which the sea broke upon e rocks, which were only just below the surface. The light-coloured water extends for fourteen miles N.W.b.W,W. from Adele Island, but there is reason to think that the water is deep over the greater part of it; for we crossed over its tail, and sounded in forty-five fathoms without finding bottom, whilst in the darker-coloured water on either side of it, we had forty-two and forty4our fathoms. POINT SWAN is the north-easternmost point of the land of Cape Ivque; it has an island close ofi  its extremity, round which the tide rushes with great force, and forms a line ofripplinge.for ten miles to the W.N.W., through which, even in the Bathurst, we found it dangerous to pass. Five miles to the nor-eastward of the point are two small rocky islets, two miles apart from each other. CAPE LEVEQUE is low and rocky, with a small islet close to its extremity: its extreme is in latitude 16 � 5, and longitude 122 � 35". Between the cape and Point Swan, there is a sandy bay, fronted by a bed of.rocks.
