Edwards rock. This rock was se»n 
from the Melanie in June 186b, while working 
up from Wednesday island. When near the 
rock the peak of 1*016 island was just in 
sight to tlie eastward of Double island, Strait 
rock open to the northward of Horned hill 
on Horn island, and the south point of Ham 
mond island well open of the south point 
of Wednesday island. 
The rock is very small, probably 20 feet 
square, and considered to have about 6 feet 
water on it; from the above bearings it 
appears to lie S. f W. about 1J miles from 
East Strait island. 
This danger is to the northward of the 
course recommended through this part of 
'Forres Strait, but Mariners should keep a 
good look-out when in the neighbourhood 
of East Strait island.
