DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING THE COAST OF

HONDURAS, AND THE HARBOUR OF BELIZE.
 

The island of Bonacca, should be made early in
the day, so that you may run down to the middle or
west end of Ruatan by the evening, and from thence
take your departure for the Southern Four Keys, at
six, seven, or eight o'clock, according' to the breeze
you have.

If you take your departure from the middle of Rua¬
tan, steer W. N. W. i V/est, making that course good,
to avoid Glover's Reef to leeward, and, on no account
whatever, run more than 45 miles from Ruatan before
day light; if you run more than that distance, you are
in danger of running your vessel on the reef. At day
light, if you do not see the Keys, make sail, and you
will soon lift them.

The principal key is called Half Moon Key ; on this
key there is a Light-house, elevated about 50 feet
from the surface of the sea; its latitude is 17 degrees
