" Pearl Harbor lies 7 miles to the westward of Honolulu. It is an oblong bay or estuary, 6 miles long and 3 wide, with its longer axis parallel to the coast; entered from the sea through a narrow strait, which is nearly 3 miles long, of varying width and about three eighths of a mile in breadth at the narrowest point. The sea line of the harbor is the encircling coral reef of the island, through which, however, oppo- site the passage, there is a break, blocked for the present by a bar of coral ...sand. Two peninsulas, extending seaward from the back of the harbor, and an island within it, divide the bay into three parts. Both island and peninsulas command the strait, partially or wholly, one of the penin- sulas reaching across the bay and into its inner mouth. Inside the bar the passage is from 7 to 10 fathoms deep ; within the harbor the depth varies from 5 to 7 fathoms. There are 30 miles of water front, remarkable in this, that its walls approach the perpendicular. "In other words, the largest of vessels could almost be moored broad- side against this beach (of Puuloa).
