Pilot George Cozain who accompanied us says that Hewitt Rock in Hikish Narrows is on a patch of shoal extending one third of the width of the channel from the western shore & the rock has 8 ft on it at low water
It is opposite or off from a sort of little rounded hill on the west shore of the Narrows.

On the rock behind the old Indian church site at Sitka about 50 feet above the water are what appear to be glacial scratches & deep groovings in an easterly & westerly direction.
