A reef breaks off the point, the north part of which bore west-south-west; but it extends far more to the north, and breaks, I presume, in bad weather.

The reefs extend also a great way to the westward of this point.

We anchored about half a mile from the shore in seven fathoms water, and about three miles from the head of the bay.

The soundings are exceedingly even for five miles, carrying seven fathoms, never varying: just before, we carried four and five, when, I think, we passed over the reef, which appears to me to join the main at that distance from the south-west point.

The beach does not show the least sign of any sea.
