(4282) SOUTH PACIFIC OCEAN.

Balmoral Reef: Shoal reported south-westward.

The captain of the French steamer “Rabelais” reports that at 10.50 a.m. on August 25, 1927, his vessel passed over a shoal having an estimated depth of from 5 to 6 fathoms (10 to 12 meters), in latitude 15° 57′ 54″ S., longitude 175° 34′ 48″ E. This shoal appeared to be the western limit of a bank over which the vessel passed for a distance of about 1,090 yards (1,000 meters), during which passage the bottom was plainly visible. The bottom appeared to consist of white sand sprinkled with grayish coloured rocks. The weather being clear, the position was determined by observations. (N. M. 44, 1927.)
