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. 1867 Excerpt: ...winds; the best place is said to be off the highest part of the island in 6 or 7 fathoms. Ingress and egress are easy. The North channel is very rarely used, being narrow. When running for Kalegouk anchorage, give Cavendish island a berth of about a mile, and when it bears W.N.W., haul to the northward and pass up to the anchorage. The shore of Kalegouk island should have a moderate berth given to it. According to Mb. N.

We therefore conclude our description of the east coast of the Bay of Bengal with some remarks upon Penang. Pew AUG.--Penang is an island having the form of a parallelogram, situated between Latitudes 5 16' and 5 28' N. and Longitudes 100 10' and 100 20' E. It is very lofty, West hill, in the northern part of the island, its most elevated part, being 2713 feet above the sea. On the east side of the island is Georgetown, where a considerable trade is carried on with S...
