336 APPENDIX. A; At eleven miles from the entrance, the port is separated into Sect..?lV. two inlets, which wind under the base of a dividing range N. West of high, steep, and wooded hills; these run up for five miles Coast. hig!?r, when they become mere man?rove creeks. There is probably another inlet on the .cut side of Port Warrender which we did not examine, since it appeared to be less con- siderable in size, and important in appearance, than the arm which we had examined. (?&YSTAL HSAD is in latitude 14 �, and longitude 125 � 30'. WALMESLY BAY appeared tobe a good port also, but it is open to the eastward. We did not enter it. CAPE VOLTAIRE is the extremity of a promontory, ex- tending for more than. twenty miles into the sea, and sepa- rating the Admiralty Gulf from Montagu Sound. There is a fiat-topped hill near its extremity, in. latitude 14 � 30', and longitude 125 � 12"; and, at three miles more to the southward, a peaked hill; its shores on either side are rocky, and indented by bays. At one part. the width across to Walmesly Bay cannot be more than a mile and a half. The MONTALIVET ISLES, about six leagues from the main, consist of three rocky isl.?nds; they are visible for six or seven leagues from the deck: the north-easternmost is in latitude 14 � 40', longitude 125 � 30". MONTAGU SOUND extends from Cape Voltaire to the north end of Bigge's Island, a distance of thirty-one miles, and is from eleven to twenty miles deep. It is fronted by a range of islands; the outer range, Which is. eight miles within the Montaiivet Isles, was called PauDHos ISLA?S;
