Directions.—In rounding the west end of Su-a-u a berth
must be given to the rock to the W.N.W. of Vehi. A vessel
of deep draught should then haul up and keep close to the
island until the Stapleton Patches are passed, when she can
either bring up in the Sound in 14 fathoms, or proceed to the
anchorage recommended to the westward of the rock.

A vessel under sail entering from this direction in the S.E.
monsoon should hug the island, over which the wind comes
very variably. This, with a westerly set, makes it difficult to
fetch the anchorage without a tack.

To make the anchorage round the east side of the island,
keep close to the western side of Baibesika, and then make
for the eastern point of Su-a-u. If passing to the eastward
of Baibesika, hug the N.E. point of that island to avoid the
ship patches, and then steer for the right extreme of Su-a-u,
keeping close along the fringing reef on the N.E. side of that
island, to give a good berth to the Cawston Rock.

A vessel under sail should shorten in good time if intending
to anchor off the Mission Station, as the room for rounding-
to is not great. Borrow towards Mangilion Point, off which
the reef runs for a very short distance.

Water.—This has the reputation of being one of the best
watering-places on the coast. It may be obtained within
a quarter of a mile to the eastward of the narrows, either
from the main land or the island.

Natives.—The natives are apparently quiet and docile.
During the stay, off and on of a month, they became great
friends; they are cannibals.

Provisions.—Yams, taro, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, ba-
nanas, and cocoanuts may be obtained from the natives in
small quantities; also pigs occasionally. Fish are not very
plentiful. Ginger and betel-nut are grown here.

Climate.—In July a great deal of rain was experienced.
The atmosphere was very misty during the south-easters.

   gold have been extracted from the new goldfield within two
   years from the registration of the discovery, if in alluvial
   workings, and, if in quartz workings, proof of a similar yield
   from this source within three years from such registration
   will be required.

4. Any person discovering new gold workings, and being
   desirous of obtaining a reward, shall immediately forward a
