Acting Colonial Secretary.
Marine Department, Wellington, 30th October, 1878. The following letter, received from Captain Mies of the brig Rio Loge, relative to the position of Kennels und Bellona Islands, is published for general information.
G. GREY.
RENNELS AND BELLONA ISLANDS, Dunedin, 3rd October, 1878.
SIR-I have the honour to report to you an error in the position of some islands I passed on my passage from Foochow to this port in the brig Rio Luge. These islands, named Rennels and Bellona, are marked as "doubtful" islands on the latest published charts, and are situated directly in the track between China and Australia. The position assigned to Rennels Island is N.W. point 11° 12' south latitude, and 160o 10 cast longitude, whereas the correct position should be for the N.W. point 11° 30' south latitude, and 160° & east longitude, making an error of 18 in latitude and 11' in longitude. My observations were taken within two or three miles of the NW. point, and the error of my chronometer found only the day before at Christoval, so that I can rely upon the position. The S.E. point I place in 11° 51' south and 160° 49°east, approximate. Rennels Istand and Bellona bear from such other N.W. by W. and S.E by E., not more than fifteen miles distant.
I cannot find in any directory a description of Rennels Island, and I believe there is none published, I therefore enclose the following remarks from my own observation:--
Rennels feland is about 38 miles long and 8 wide at the N.W., and lies in a N.W. and S.E. direction, is about 600 to 600 feet high, of uniform height throughout, and thickly wooded down to the water's edge. Along the whole N.E. side is a fringing reef about two cables from the shore. The N.W. point is a gradually-sloping point, with a hummock two hundred or three hundred yards from the beach, and has a reef extending about four or five cables from the shore, with a strong tide rippling round the point; the coast trends about three miles to the S.W., and thence to south-eastward. Bellona Island appears to be about the same height as Rennels Island, and also thickly wooded.
Trasting that you will give this publicity for the benefit of shipmasters generally.
I have, &c.,
