Small islands off right leading toward Katlian Bay
Two wooded ones and some bare rocks
The marble ledge is on the shore of Baranoff Island. It borders on the western side on a mass of the greenish (diorite?) common to the vicinity and the dip seemed nearly perpendicular; the width of the ledge was at least 100 ft exposed & apparently extended much further but covered by vegetation
It was of a fine grain with little discoloration and with cold water close up to the beach.
The entrance to the SE arm is wider than the charts give it, all estimated it at half a mile or so. It was nearly as wide as the length of the two channel islands. There is a passage at high water over the sand bar connecting Beehive Id. with Halleck Id. a short distance beyond the SW. pt of the latter in Olga Strait a fine cascade falls over a high bluff apparently from a basin in the hills. This is permanent throughout the season.
