On the 17th Instant whim 1 ©awing the ^hor the vessel
anchored on the bar, and soundings were tt&m in all direct-
iono, least water obtained fflWi.S at low water neans, and at
hli^i :Tater X ^ b .4 feet 5 was obtained on the owne day.
During spring tides It Is probable that the water falle
another S or 4 feet, snd as the chart sho^e a leaet depth
of 2h Fmo*, tills would appear to be correct, but for all
nawlfsatioital purposes It oould be alwost always depSBded on
that S rmi. would be least water obtained.

easily distinguishable, althouf^h it newer covers, and
quite a wide channel ©Kists, making it optional to pass
either to eastward or westward of the shoal.
