The following is extract from letter received
from an officer Of the navy in the West Indies,
dated
gu. s. SHIP ST. MAYS,
April 25th, 1886
"The captain of the English mail steamer which
arrived at Vera Cruz from Havana on the 18th inst,
reports having fallen in with lo,o reef in the night,
bearing N. e. E. (true) from the castle Of San Juan,
distant t,oenty:fonr miles. He represents 1t being
about mile in length in the form ola crescent. II
was blowing norther at the time, and they found
themselves close that the only means of avoiding
the shoal was by reversing the engine and backing
clear Of 1t. In doing this their dead lights were
stove in.
This shoal is not marked on Blunt's chart nor
can ! find any notice of it in the Coast Pilot but
on Norriss chart, published in 1885, low reef
is marked, bearing N. E. by E. f. from the castle,
distant nineteen miles"
