MATY AND DUROUR ISLS.—During the passage of the
s.s. “African Monarch” between Maty and Durour Isls.,
on the N.E. coast of New Guinea, at 7½ miles from Maty
Isl. the position of that island was found to be practically
correct. The remark on the chart that its position was
8 miles to the erd. has therefore been erased. The approx.
position of Durour Isl. was ascertained to be 19 miles N. 30
E. from Maty Isl., which places it in 1° 29′ S., 142° 57′ E.,
or about 16 miles wrd. of its present charted position. Nov.
