The two white beacons on the Sand Hills to the west ward of the landing-place bearing S. W. by S. There is only 17 feet of water on it at lowwater spring tides. The centre of the patch is about 30 feet square, and consists of large Bat-topped stones, with several detached stones lying from 20 to 30 feet off the centre, with to 4 fathoms over them at low water. There is fathoms round the shoal. By keeping the Western beacons open, this shoal will be avoided in anchoring either in or outside of it. These beacons in line lead direct over the shoal, which is half a mile N. i W. magnetic from the Flagstaff. William H. Reynolds.
