by a reef, and a rock awash lies a mile oif its south end ; depths of
4 and 5 fathoms extend about one mile southward and south-westward
of it. At 4^ miles W, by S. of Tulo Singa is De lies rock, with 6 feet
water, 12 fathoms around it, and nearly 2 miles off shore. The south
extreme of Pulo Kaka open southward of Pulo Singsa leads southward of
it, and Linga peak N.W. by W. leads westward.

southerly and easterly winds, and large vessels are obliged to lie far out
on account of shoal water extending from the mouth of the river, and
around Pulo Colombo and its adjoining islets.
Islets.— Reefs.—Pulo Colombo, the largest of these islets, lies nearly
2 miles southward from the entrance of the river. Anlo and Ballang
islets are both small, the former lying about a mile S.E., and the latter the
same distance E. by S. from Colombo. About 2 miles westward of
Colombo is another small islet named Pulo Badas, which is almost con-
nected by reefs to Pulo Mapar, a larger islet about a mile to the northward,
with a grove of cocoa-nut trees ; a village abreast contains about 300
Malays and Chinese, chiefly fishermen.
The following are the outermost of the dangers extending from the
islets :—A shoal with 2 feet water lies with Pulo Bada?, distant 1^ miles,
and in line with Pulo Mapar. Another shoal extends 2 miles S.S.E. from
Pulo Anlo, having 1^ fathoms on its extreme ; Ponubo peak, bearing
W. ^ N. leads half a mile southward of it, and nearly one mile southward
of the 2-feet shoal oflF Pulo Badas.
