S. W. To S. W. It is quite exposed to northerly and westerly winds, which are said to prevail here from December to April ; at other times they are mostly S. E. Or westerly, and sometimes at N. E. The surf is frequently high, and at such times thefe is no landing. Fresh water may be procured from a well near the governor's house, but it is a scarce article in the dry season, and cannot always be got off from the shore, 188 on account of the surf. On the south side of the island, to the eastward... of Tobacco point, is a small bay, called the Port, fit for boats only, where it is said fresh water may be procured from a rivulet. The currents generally run strong to the westward, therefore the necessity of approaching the road by Rat or Wooding island is obvious. Rat island is about ITJ mile in length, and lies about 1 mile from the N. E. End of Fer- nando de Noronha. It produces grass and fire wood, with some wild goats ; but the wood will sink if thrown into the water, and there is great risk in staving the boat while getting it off from the rocks.
