ELLICE ISLANDS.

Nurakita (Sophia Island).—This island is low, flat, and covered with dense bush, through which the branches of many dead trees protrude. Above this bush one cocoanut palm and two or three other trees are to be seen, which, on making the island at a distance of about sixteen miles, appear as black spots on the horizon.

The island is surrounded with a fringe reef, and a bank extends off it with 14 fathoms water at a distance of 1 mile and 8 fathoms, at about half a mile from the beach; outside the depth of 14 fathoms the water deepens considerably.

Landing is difficult except in canoes.

There are a few natives living on the south side of the island.
