There Is A
Passage Into The Harbour On Both Sides Of The Isle, Which Lies Before It.
The Most Room Is On The Upper Or East Side, Having Regard To A Sunken Rock,
Near The Main, Abreast This End Of The Isle:
Keep the isle close aboard,
and you will not only avoid the rock, but keep in anchoring-ground.
The
next place, on this side, is Cascade Cove, where there is room for a fleet
of ships, and also a passage in on either side of the isle, which lies in
the entrance, taking care to avoid a sunken rock which lies near the south-
east shore, a little above the isle. This rock, as well as the one in
Pickersgill Harbour, may be seen at half-ebb It must be needless to
enumerate all the anchoring-places in this capacious bay.
The north entrance lies in the latitude of 45 deg. 38' S., and five leagues to
the north of Five Fingers Point. To make this entrance plain, it will be
necessary to approach the shore within a few miles, as all the land within
and on each side is of considerable height. Its situation may, however, be
known at a greater distance, as it lies under the first craggy mountains
which rise to the north of the land of Five Fingers Point. The southernmost
of these mountains is remarkable, having at its summit two small hillocks.
When this mountain bears S.S.E. you will be before the entrance, on the
south side of which are several isles.
