CAPTAIN J. Bollons, Lighthouse Steamer “Tutanekai,” reports having searched for the obstruction referred to in Notice to Mariners No. 7 of the 15th February, 1923, which was reported to exist in the passage between Cape Koamaru and White Rocks, at the entrance to Queen Charlotte Sound. Captain Bollons reports the existence of a rocky and irregular shoal, having a least depth of 6 fathoms at M.L.W.S., and depths varying between 10 and 18 fathoms on all sides for a distance of 200 ft.

From the shoal the Brothers Lighthouse is visible just open of Cape Koamaru, 110°; and Cape Jackson is in transit with the middle White Rock, 338°.

The shoal is distant 7·5 cables from Cape Koamaru, and 4 cables from White Rocks.
