The narrowest part of the strait we have pass'd lies between Cape Koamaroo on Tovy-poenammu and Cape Teerawhitte on Aeheinomouwe   the distance from the one to the other I judged to be between 4 and 5 Leagues and notwithstanding the strength of the tides, now that is known, there is no great danger in passing it.  in the doing of which I am of opinion that the NE shore is the safest to keep upon for on that side there appear'd to _^^be danger whereas on the other shore there are not only the Islands and Rocks lying off Cape Koamaroo   for I discover'd from the hill from which I had the second View of the Strait a Reef of Rocks stretching from these Islands Six or 7 Miles to the Southward and lay about 2 or 3 Miles off from the shore. I shall not pretend _^^here to assign limets to the length of this strait a view of the Chart will best ellusterate that. About North 9 Leagues from Cape Teerawhitte under the same shore is a high remarkable Island that may be distinctly seen from Queen Charlottes Sound from which it lies NEBE1/2E distant four Six or five seven Leagues, I have called it Entry Isle and was taken notice of when we first past it on Sunday 14^th _^^of last Month. On the East side of Cape Teerawhitte the Land trends away SEBE about eight leagues where it ends in a point and is the southermost land of Aeheinomouwe which I have named Cape Pallisser _^^{in honour of my worthy friend Capt Pallisser} / Latitude 41°..34', S^o Longitude. 183°..58' W^t /  it bore from us _^^{this day} at Noon S^o 79° E^t distant 12 or 13 Leagues being than in the latitude of 41°..27' S^o at the same time Cape Koamaroo bore N1/2E distant 7 or 8 Leagues.   the southermost point of land in sight bore S^o 16° W^t and the Snowey Mountain SW being about three leagues from the shore and a breast of a deep Bay or Inlet, call'd Clowdy bay in the bottom of which appear'd low land cover'd with tall trees —
