SUNKEN ROCK OFF NUSA HEAD.

MR. WILLIAM JEW, Master of the barque "Crishna,"
reports that while lying in Laguna Bay, off the
mouth of the Nusa River, on the 22nd and 23rd
instant, a heavy sea running outside, he observed a
break about 1 1/4 mile northwards of Nusa Head.
This probably shows the existence of a sunken rock
lying off that Head, similarly situated to the rocks
off Point Lookout, Cape Moreton, Point Raper, and
Double Island Point.
