Between Jean Bart cove and the point of this name, which is three miles and a half W. 30° S., is a rock. It is placed half way between the cove and the point, and lies off the coast about half a mile.
W. 35° S. from Jean Bart Point, which forms the left head of the great bay of Chatham Island, is a reef of rocks, called the Zealanders; they extend in this same direction to five miles from Jean Bart Point, but there is a good passage between them and the point.
At about twelve miles S.E. from Jean Bart Point, is the Point of Traffic (called by us Point Durham), which forms the south cape of the great bay (called by us Petre Bay); some small rocks, upon which the sea always breaks, extend about two-thirds of a mile from the point: they are called Jenny's Reef in the Admiralty chart.
At S. 11° E. from Point Durham, and about five and a half miles distance, is the south-west cape; near to this cape, to the northward of it, is a mountain with two peaks, which presents the form of a bishop's cap—hence the name of the cape, evêque.
At five miles S. 20° E. from Cape Evêque, is a rock under water, called the Solitary, upon which the sea breaks.
At fourteen miles E. 20° S. from Cape Evêque is Pitt Island, which does not exceed seven miles in length, north and south, nor three miles across, from east to west. This isle is thickly wooded; it is inhabited by a party of the aborigines of Chatham Island, and appears to be accessible only on the eastern side, in a narrow channel formed by the Attente Islet, to which it is very near.
Three rocks of remarkable form, which run about S. W. and N. E., lie to the westward of the south point.
A round rock, at about four miles S. 11° E. from the south point of Pitt Island, and E. 42° S. from Cape Evêque, has all the appearance of a bell.
At four miles N. 32° E. from the Bell Rock is a danger near the water's edge, upon which the sea breaks.
