THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24TH MARCH, 1883.

Mersa Thlemel.-Anchorage. The anchorage in the bay of Mersa Thlemel, marked on H. O. chart No. 557, is said to be superior to the one indicated about a mile and three-quarters S SE. from Zafarana light.

Zafarana point, very low, and continued by a reef, which extends to seaward for a mile and a half, is difficult to recognize, and dangerous in thick or foggy weather. At Mersa Thlemel, on the contrary, the high mountains have been seen from a distance of three and a half miles to seaward, while the beach, two miles distant, was still shrouded in fog,

In 1882, the Garonne anchored at Mersa Thlemel, in 11 fathoms, mud bottom, on the following bearings:

Jebel Thlemel.........

The peak of 670 feet...... Zafarana light..

S: 74° 15′ W. N.53.45 W.

N. 29 15 E.,5 miles

The change in the color of the water indicates very clearly the edge of the bank of 24 fathoms to the north, and also of the bank which extends from Point Kadd Howelshcer.

The anchorage at Mersa Thlemel presents, also, an advantage over that of Zafarana, in that it is sheltered from the winds from S SE. to N NE., and out of the track of vessels. (H. N. 6-'83.)
