GREAT NORTH-EAST CHANNEL, TORRES STRAIT.

A DANGEROUS sunken rock lying in the fairway
of the Great North-east Channel, is reported by
Mr. Jardine, the Police Magistrate at Somerset.

The rock is described as being about 20 yards in
diameter, with 6 feet of water over it at low water,
and lying E.S., 1½ mile from Saddle Island.

To avoid this danger, vessels after passing Bet
Islet should haul well to the southward, giving
Saddle Island a wide berth, before steering to pass
Ninepin Rock, which is steep to and may be left on
either hand.
