317:... A vessel proceeding to Stella Creek from eastward by way of Meek Channel should keep close to the southern side of the western Corner Island in order to avoid Corner Rock and thence keep in mid-channel until she is near Channel Rock. Thence she should steer for Thumb Rock (Thumb Islet), passing close eastward of Channel Rock in order to avoid the reef extending northward from the northwestern part of Galindez Island. When near Thumb Rock she should steer to pass midway between this island and the northwestern part of Galinder Island. The vessel should be conned from aloft. Under favorable conditions it is possible to see the bottom in depths up to 6 fathoms. A vessel anehoring off the northern extremity of Galindez Island can secure her stern to ringbolts ashore.

northwestern extremity of
Galindez Island; Thumb Islet (Thumb Rock) lies at its southeastern end; Indicator Island lies on its southwestern part; and two islets, named The Buttons, lie on its northern part.
