Narrative of a Survey of the Intertropical and Western Coasts of Australia] [Volume 2 of 2]

CHAPTER 5
137/583

They are all small.

The largest has a remarkable summit upon it, in latitude 20 degrees 37 minutes 50 seconds, and longitude 116 degrees 36 minutes 45 seconds: it is from this Island that the natives drove us, and would not allow us to land.* The channel between them and Lewis Island is more than a mile wide, and is seven and eight fathoms deep.
(*Footnote.

Vide volume 1.) ENDERBY ISLAND is separated from Lewis Island by a channel one mile and a half wide, apparently clear and free from danger.

Its south-west point is ROCKY HEAD, the summit of which was found to be in latitude 20 degrees 35 minutes 25 seconds, and longitude 116 degrees 23 minutes 5 seconds.

To the north is GOODWYN ISLAND; and further north, and West-North-West from Malus Island, from which it is separated by a strait two miles and a half wide, is ROSEMARY ISLAND, which, when viewed from the North-North-East or South-South-West, has three hummocks bearing from each other West by North and East by South.
