"• Directions for Sailing into the Roads. — There is no danger whatever in approaching the an- chorage usually occupied by the English squadron 120 Blockading Boulogne employed at the blockade of Boulogne, as the water is deep and the soundings are regular. There is a bank called the ' Basse du Basse, ' which lies about a mile off Ambleteuse, extending in a direction nearly parallel to the shore, but rather diverging outwards to the westward of Boulogne Pier ; on it there are in some places as ...little as three fathoms at low water, and within it considerably deeper water.
