The Hongkong Government Gazette.
This position on Flinder's Chart will be in latitude, 34*35 South; longitude, I23° 28ţ' East.
[No. 67.—OCTOBER 11, 1856.
Passing 3 miles Southward of the Reef, at 10 hours A.M., the weather being fine, and a long swell rolling in from the S.W., the shoal water was observed from aloft to extend about one mile iu au East and West direction, and to be 200 yards in width, but breakers extended over only one-third of that space, in probably 2 or 3 fathoms water, The shoalest part was near the centre, where the sea broke abruptly against a small rock which had apparently not more than 6 or 8 feet water on it.
As this reef lies in the direct track of vessels rounding the South East Isles, and is entirely under water, it is dangerous to approach in the night or in thick weather, for the soundings are deep close up to it, and give no warning of its vicinity.
The third South East Isle mentioned in the note upon Flinder's Chart does not exist.
