Mr Sulivan. than in some the narrow channels between the smaller islands, the stream was so rapid, with 4 or 5 ft deep, that the whole boat could scarcely pull against it. & he was afraid to wind the boat! —
It is clear from Mr Sulivan's sections that, no law with respect to windward & leeward. — Shape of lower mountain
matter found out from lagoon have determined it. — Compare with Beechey.1 —
N.B. I see there are some notes about the Coral Isd in the scraps in the Portfolio.
1 Beechey 1831.
