UNCHARTED ROCK OFF FRANCIS HEAD, D’URVILLE ISLAND.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 30th March, 1912.

M R. CHARLES PERANO, master of the steamer
“Elsie,” reports sighting an uncharted rock in
the centre of the passage approaching Admiralty Bay,
between Trio Island and Francis Head (D’Urville Island).
The rock only carries 2 ft. of water over it at low-water
spring tides, and is approximately N. 23° E. magnetic
or N. 39° E. true from Francis Head or Clay Point, dis-
tance 1½ miles. This bearing gives latitude 40° 52′3″ S.,
and 174° 1′2″ E.
A search for this rock will be made by Captain Bollons
of the Government steamer “Hinemoa” on the first oppor-
tunity.
