ship approaches the buoy, but il there
is any danger the flag on shore is haul
ed down, and, to prevent being wreck
ed on the reef, the ship must head to
sea, sometimes compelled TO beat
around for days before an anchorage
is possible.
Baker island was discovered by
Capt. Henry Foster, OF the bark ia
maica, in 1857. 1t was reported from
time to time by various other marin
ers, but was not accurately charted
until Commander Meade visited it. In
1872.
The island is a veritable death trap
of the sea, as its wreck-strewn reef at
tests. Not only are the shores strewn
with wreckage. but nearly dozen
skeletons of ships still exist in the
clutches of the reef.
Such are our other possessions in
the South sea.
