The south part of the main or South Cape bearing north-west by north distant 20 miles and the longitude 147 degrees 18 minutes from a good lunar observation taken on the 8th instant.

All round the western side and even thus far south of the cape there are soundings of fifty fathoms, 45 and 40 white sand and shells.

I called that space between Cape Liptrap and the South Cape, King George's Sound." I have no doubt but that there is good anchorage in the bight to the northward of South Cape on the western side of which Cape Liptrap makes the northern head.

The land here is high and the mountains covered with wood.

Cape Liptrap is low and flat as is the land in this Bight where I suppose there is shelter.
