Coromandel in the PEHTANO, 13th August, 1860.

The Merchant Ship Templeman struck on a Rock, on leaving the Harbor of Nagasaki, the position of which is not correctly laid down in the Chart of Nagasaki Harbor (by Sibbold corrected by Mr. Richards.) The correct bearings of this Rock, which is dry at low water springs, are:

South end of Hungry Rock,.

South cliff of Papenberg,

South Hummock on Sirosima,.

S. 30 E.

.S. 97 E.

.N. 58 W.

or on with centre of Ainosima, taking the centre gun on Sirosima.

This is supposed to be the Barracouta Rock, no trace of which can be found.

It is about 40 yards in diameter with deep water close to, and ships entering the harbour should give the rocks at the S.W. end of Papenberg a wide berth of about at least 2 cables length.

Vice-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief.
