lington Head" (Great Barrier Island) north-east
by north north. Eastern extremity of "Kauwau"
Island south-west south. "Mutu Tahapa"

east.

The sea does not usually break upon this
Rock during moderate weather, but at times
breakers can be seen on it from several miles
distance, and at low water the top of the Rock
may be seen amongst the breakers. The sound-

the breakers, and fourteen fathoms within a
cable's length of them.

I am, &c.,
