A corroboration of these facts will appear
manifest, when it's stated, that tor several
years past, only three vessels have been lost
on tlse Bahama side, then IN violent wea-
Their, and there are annually on an average
not less than eight vessels lost on the fiorl-
da side, most of them run ashore IN the
night in good weather, and the Captains
have reckoned themselves OH the Bahama
side.
A Spanish chart, patIished by order of
the king IF Span, aud lately issued TO hla
officers, will also on INSPECTION further corr
roborate these observations, ana put them
in clearer point of view. but that author
does not presume TO be correct, about the
north part OF Abaco, and the reefs when
ex.end from rnem.
S Ihe Maranlila Reef extends near four
teen miles furtner north than laid down by
Roman.
The island of Abaco, Grand Bahama,

which form the east side OF the gall, as far
south as Orange Keys, are land Gown tall

To prove this assertion. allow that the west
part of the Key Sal Bank, and Double
Headed Shot Keys to be laid down correct
in point of Longitude, itappears from this
chart, that a north course from thence will
carry weasel through the passage nearly
mad channel, but in reality u. 1-2 K.

This circumstance must certainly account
for the loss of vessels whose masters rely
on the charts, N. N. E. or with scant

On approaching the Florida side, the
eddy currents and tides setting through
