The third is laid from the one on the S.E. end, at :Ls

The fourth three miles to the N., 15. W. of the third, in
fathom.
On the Orthes four black buoys are placed :—The first hears
N.E. from the one on the S.E. end of the Chico, in three fathoms ,
the second N. N.E. from the one on the N.W. of the Chico. i:.
three fathoms ; the third to N. N.E. of the one in the centre of thJ
Chico, in three fathoms. These, with the buoys on the Chico. fern*
the large channel between the• banks, of 4, and sometiiity,
fathoms, according to the state of the river. The fourth at :t:.•
S.E. extremity of the Orthes, 54 miles E.S.E. of the old
called the Agutbs Volante--Point Indio bearing S.S.W.
POINT SANTIAGO, ON ENSENADA SPIT.—A black buoy is
laid on the Spit, Point Santiago buying front it S. 28. E. anti
Point Lars S. a. W. in three fathoms water. On the Bank o;
Lara, cr part of the Spit Ensenada, a black buoy is placed, Poin.
Lam bearing S.E. 2 S. and POOH Santiago S. 83 E., in three
fathoms.

COURSE TROIS MONTE VIDEO TO lIVEKOS Araza.-0-1
leaving Monte Video, steer S.W. for 31) miles; then keep her bead
W.S.W. till Point Indio is seen. When this point bears S.S.Vi'.
about 8 miles off, keep a N.W. course. At this distance you wiil
find 31 to 34 fathoms, and go on deepening to and 5. and con-
tinue this course until you get into 3k, when you will find you! -
self near the (tithes. Here change the course to W.N. W. unt,!.
aniving at the outer roads, hum five fathoms, you may percti....
the buoys.

The inside passage of the Chico being about seven miles from
Point Indio, as above stated, keep the vessel's head W.N.W. unt:l
you see the farm-houses of the Magdalena, and, when the se.
coed farm-house bears S.S.W., you will then sec the buoy on the
S.E. end of Chico, and, by keeping on, will perceive the second
four miles distant from the first W.N.IV. on the southermost part
of Chico; and, on reaching the second. you may continue your
course with confidence, as the bank stretches to the S.W., and tb.t
third buoy is at N.N.W. After passing the :Vaisya, the wood of
Santiago will be seen; and after it immediately the point of this
name ; then the buoys off Ensenada.
On no account ought a vessel come to within six miles of eta
land after passing Point Atalava, on account of Ensenada Spit
running so far out, as will be seen by the buoy, which, sith
smooth river, is perceptible at five miles distance.
The Atalaya may be easily distinguished by two small champs of
trees on the bank of the river, and some farm-houses with author
tries.

After seeing Ensenada, the amber on Punts I.nra is the rat
Point; afterwards the steeples in Buenos Ayres ; then the vessel,
in the outer roads.
