Notice to Mariners No. 24 of 1907.

THREE KINGS ISLANDS.—NON-EXISTENCE OF CHARTED ISLETS, ETC.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 18th April, 1907.

CAPTAIN BOLLONS, of the Government steamer “Hinemoa,” reports that the undermentioned islands shown on the Admiralty Chart No. 1512 do not exist:—

1. The island north of Princes Islets: The “Hinemoa” steamed over the charted position of this island, and there is nothing north of the line of S. 60° W. between the West King (600 ft. island) and the continuous line of small (Princes) islets.
2. The island shown next north-east of West Island (350 ft.): There is a passage a quarter of a mile wide between West Island and the first Princes Islet.
3. The islet and rocks on north side of Tasman Bay: The north point of this bay is a high bluff, with nothing off it, nor is there any outlier between Tasman and S.E. bays. The bottom between the different islands, and for a distance of a mile outside of them, is composed of rock, small coral, and small patches of coral sand. There is a smooth-water anchorage in strong N.E. weather on the S.W. side of the Great Island in from 25 to 28 fathoms. It is necessary to have a stout buoy-rope, as the bottom is very foul.
