PORT GREY.
Sunday morning.
Weighed anchor and stood to the south to examine a bay opposite the southern part of Moresby's Flat-topped Range.

This bay, which is not laid down in the charts, was found to be an excellent anchorage, completely sheltered from all southerly winds, which are the prevailing winds on this coast at this time of the year, and also much protected by a reef running north and south from the extreme point of the bay.

This reef or bank was found to have from three to five fathoms upon it, and within it there was seven fathoms, even near to the shore, at the bottom of the bay; and there is no appearance of any heavy sea or violent action of the water on the beach at any time of the year.* (*Footnote.

The report of this bay by the Master of the Champion is as follows: 26th January 1840.

Anchored in a bay not laid down in the charts, lying in latitude 28 degrees 50 minutes, the north land bearing north-north-west, and the south point south-west.
