Extracts from Remark Book of Navigating Lieutenant
H. W. Campion, H.M.S. "Blanche," 31st Decem-
ber, 1874.
Samoa, Apia. There are several rocky patches
further out than the main reef. We passed over one
in 5 fathoms or less. Apia Mountain S.E. by E.
(Samoan Islands Chart No. 1730.)
Auckland, New Zealand. Britomart Point is fast
being cut away for reclaiming the sea between it and
Wynyard Pier for the railway; it is therefore of little
use as a leading mark. (Chart No. 1970.)
Wangaroa, New Zealand. One of the safest har-
bours in New Zealand. The entrance is narrow but
plenty of water; it is one of the principal ports for
kauri pine.
French Pass, New Zealand. The tides must be
carefully attended to; it would be impossible to go
through against the tide. Turnings very narrow and
circuitous.
Duke of York Island to New Zealand. On passage
experienced a southerly set of two knots an hour
along the coast of New Zealand.
Extracted from the Remarks of Commander Dupuis
and Navigating Lieutenant Browne, of H.M.S.
"Rosario," 31st December, 1874.

distance of 32'. The north point of island, Plan No.
987, marked "Bluff," is a low, well-wooded point, the
Bluff being the north-west point forming the west
