more than 9 feet, a bar of that depth running
across its mouth. Neither does Hunter's Bay
situated at the entrance to Middle Harbour,
afford good anchorage, being open to easterly
winds, and the bottom foul.

TIDES.
The tides in the Harbour of Port Jackson
do not run with great velocity, the maximum
rate of the ebb being two, and of the flood one-
and-a-half knots. Their course is generally
that of mid-channel, except at the entrance,

where the ebb tide, running strong near the
North Head leaves a considerable space of slack
water to the southward, of which vessels working
in can avail by tacking to the southward when-
ever the Floating Light Ship is seen open of the
Inner South Head. The times of high water,
full, and change, are at the Heads 8h. 15m.,
and at Sydney, 8h. 30m.; rise and fall 6
feet.
All bearing herein given are magnetic, and
the soundings those at low water spring tides.
