 | Capt. Doyle, who succeeded il
 bringing the first big boom of log around Cape Chacon a few days ago reports several defects in existins charts which mariners will do we'll to remember until corrections appear ir the Coast Pilot. Brownson's Bay, il reported as affording no anchorage On the contrary, Capt. Doyle fount good anchorage in bight on the starborad side, entering, about three quarters of mile north of the soutI point of the bay, with ten fathoms oi water and soft bottom. Further up, on the starboard side, is a perfect land locked harbor, three eieghths ot mile long and quarter of mile wide, with five and half fathoms at extreme low tide, there being ten fathoms of water in the channel. The bay as charted is some three miles longer than it actually measures. Ia is understood that the Gedney will ex- anime the place and will make an official correction to the Coast Pilot covering these points.
