This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1871 Excerpt: ...leaving which, shape a course to pass on the east side of Pulo Rajah, or between it and the Brothers, to the eastward of the Guilder or Sangald Rocks, and Pulo Bouton (with daylight); otherwise to the westward, keeping in mind that a strong current is running to the west-north-west, to counteract which a weatherly course should be steered. After passing Pulo Bouton, your object must be to get well in with the Laddas, giving a berth to the Peers and Rat Island, or not under 22 fathoms during the night; thence to the Boonting Islands and high land of Quedo, which is a very fair mark (at night) for entering the Nonh Channel. For a stranger, I advise anchoring in 6 or 7 fathoms; the Peak of Queda and north end of Penang will point out the position; and wait daylight, or in all probability a vessel's copper, as also her hull and quarter boats, &c, might be injured by getting in contact with some of the large fishing stakes that are (indiscriminately) placed off the north and northeast parts of the Island. A pilot is not required for the North Channel, as a harbour chart is a sufficient guide, 3 fathoms being the least water I have ever found on the bar between the Malay shore and the north end of Penang. The deepest part is nearest the Penang shore, avoiding the little islet and rocks of Pulo Tecoose, close to the north-east end of the island. After passing Pulo Tecoose, the channel below the flagstaff is safe in daylight, and the best berth to moor in is just to the southward of the jetty, well in shore, with the northern anchor in 8 or 9 fathoms; the southern, or ebb, would then be in about 5 at low water. Should you wish to remain at single anchor, the probabilities are you will foul it in one tide. In March, the same track should be taken as in the prece...
