Thislittle island is extraordinary well watered; there are severalfine streams which seem to flow from the body of Mount Pitt, andempty themselves on both sides of the island into the sea. On thenorth side, in Cascade-Bay, there are two pretty falls from steepcliffs into the sea; there are two streams upon this island, which I have often noticed even in very dry weather, and thoughtthem capable of turning a mill. With respect to landing upon the shore, as it is frequentlyattended with great dif...ficulty and danger, stores should never besent here but in the summer time, when there is much fine weatherand easy landing; but when the landing is impracticable inSydney-Bay, it is possible to get light stores a-shore inCascade-Bay, which will then be smooth, if it do not blow hard;when it does, the whole island is inaccessible, for it is not ofsufficient extent to prevent the sea, occasioned by bad weather, from affecting every part of the shore.
