The line now runs from the point
81 degrees 80 minutes north latitude,
degrees east longitude, across to the
point So degrees north latitude. 4 de-
grees east longitude, to the point Sc
degrees north latitude, 4 degrees 50

Dutch coast and Schleswig- Holstein.
This affords Dutch shipping wider
pathway to the Atlantic.
