Valle de Banderas is the large deep hay 
to the north-east-ward of Cape Corrientes, 
extending from that cape to Punta Mita, and 
is about 22 miles wide by 20 deep; it is said 
to be frequented by whalers in the winter, 
and to be clear of dangers with the exception 
of the rocks olí Punta de Iglesia, about 5 miles 
to the north-east of the cape. 
Corralies harbour is a small harbour 
about 3 miles to the eastward of Cape Cor 
rientes, where shelter may be found by small 
vessels from all winds except those from 
north-west. The entrance is free from danger, 
but the harbour is small and with very deep 
water, 30 fathoms being found in its centre. 
It is a basin otherwise in its perfect smooth 
ness and safety, for a large ship could make 
fast to the shore. During the south-west 
gales the sea is reported to be smooth and 
the wind but little felt. The land round the 
harbour is thickly wooded, rising abruptly 
from the sea, particularly to the southward 
and westward. There are no inhabitants. 
Punta de Iglesia lies N. E. 4 E- distant 
about 4 miles from Cape Corrientes, and may 
be known by a castellated rock, nearly a 
mile from the coast. About one mil? to the 
northward of this islet are two rocks, with 
9 feet water on them, over which the sea 
was seen to break; this part of the coast 
should, therefore, uot be approached within 
24 miles. 
V ala pa. From Punta de Iglesia the land 
trends about north-east for 14 miles to Point 
Chimo, then E. by N. 4 N. 4| miles to Toigmola 
point, from whence it runs E. \ N. 34 miles 
to a break in the rocky shore called Yalapa, 
formed by a small river of the same name. 
This anchorage appears broader and the water 
is reported as not being so deep as at Corra 
lies. Ships loading with logwood anchor here 
in about IT) or 20 fathoms. Shelter may be 
found here during south-west gales.
