FREDERICK STEWART, Colonial Secretary.
BRITISH VICE CONSULATE,
ILOILO, 25th May, 1888.
DIRECTIONS FOR ENTERING THE PORT OF ILOILO.
After rounding Anini (Southernmost point of Panay) steer E.N.E. magnetic course for St. Ana on the island of Guimeras, and as the coast is bold can stand close in until point Cabalic and Cape Bondolin are in a line, then steer straight up passing mile off Cape Cabalic and 200 yards off Bondolin.
These instructions are given as on entering the Port of Iloilo, Capes Bondolin and Dapdap, which are very prominent heads (the latter being at the Northern entrance to the harbour), are often mistaken by strangers when entering from the South for points Cabalic and Bondolin, thus causing them to stcer their vessels on to the Oton Bank. Cabalic being no higher than the rest of the coast in looking from the Westward is difficult to distinguish, but from St. Ana or the South is easily recognized.
