 sLIc  mRsTraNs. 397 eefe ot islets btween this part and Cap Grenlle, for thd A. bottom is uulvereally of mud; and by ancborin with the .�1IL body of u reef, beari $.E. the veel'ie sufficiently Inner tered from the sea, which is generall smooth. On leaving Cape Flinders steer W.N. for about twenty- threemiles, leaving the reefs C and g to seaward, and d, e, an f to the southward, of the course; then haul up about N.W..N., 'and steer within tha reef I and Pelic.an Island, and to euward of the Claremont Islands I and 2 which are low and woody. When abreast of 2, the south-west end of the reef in will be. seen, which should be passed at from one to two' miles, �d the course N.b.W.}W. will carry you to 4 and , which you may pass on either side of, the channel between them being quite safe. If you take the latter course, steer north, within the reef O, and then close within 6, to avoid the low rock that covers ith the tide, Having passed this rock, steer for 7, and pass within one mile of it, .to avoid the shoals that extend o Cape Sialmouth. Hence the course is N.N.W. towards Night Island; and, when abreast of it, steer N.W. until near the covered shoal �, when the .course may be directed within $herrard's Islets and reef 10 (on which there is a sandy islet covered with some bushes), and then steer sound Cape Direction. Hence the course N.N.W.-W, will carry you within the reef y, z, a, b, and c, and without the rocky islet that lies off Restoration Island: continuing this course you will, �at about five miles beyond the cape, see the long reef e; steer N.W. parallel with its edge, which extends until you are abreast of Fair Cape, where it terminates with.a very narrow point. Then steer .W.N., 'and pass between the two easternmost Piper's Islands and the reefs h, i, and, k; then pass on either side o i and ra, inshore'of !
