Ras-ool-Macheieii.
Ras-ool-Macheieh, in lat. 24° 16' 20" N., long. 51° 41' 30" E
is a
point running out between, and separating Dooat al Nachiah
and
Dooat al Guyfac.
Jazeerat al Fayayaii.
Jazeerat al Fayayah is a moderately elevated island, laying off Ras-
ool-Macheieli, and forming the north-eastern side to the entrance to
Dooat al Guyfac. Its northern point is in lat. 24° 19' 20 N , lono-
51° 40 30" E.
Dooat al Guyfac.
Dooat al Guyfac is seven miles deep, forming, when within, a fine
cove, with from six to three fathoms water, but the entrance is so
contracted, being only forty yards wide, that no one would pass it
unless in case of necessity. There is not less than three fathoms in
the entrance.
Ras-ool-Adrati,

Ras-ool-Adrah is the eastern point of Khore Don, in lat. 24° 22' 30"
N., long. 51° 37' E. It is a low rocky point, with several detached
rocks off it. You may pass it one mile distant, in from four to six
fathoms.
Goodwin Islands. ^
The Goodwin Islands consist of two low groups, the northern, or Guf-
fay, being in lat. 24° 36' 10" N., long. 51° 42' 50" E., and the southern,
or Mayamaat Entaint, in lat. 24° 23' N., long. 51° 44' E. These islands
are low, and have no fresh water. To the southward of Mayamaat
Entaint are two rocky islets, called Fridgdaat. The whole of these
islands, to the northern end of Yassaat, are nearly chained together by
reefs, having narrow channels in some parts, but unsafe to navigate.
When passing in emergent cases, a good look-out and attention to the
lead will be the best, and indeed only guides.
Maciiassib Island.
Machassib Island is a small, low, sandy island, in lat. 24° 39' N.,
long. 51° 49' E., surrounded by a reef running off it, nearly two miles
in all directions.
Raraii, or St. Thomas’ Islands.
St. Thomas’ Islands, are a group of low rocky islands,
Rarah, or
situated in the mouth of Khore Don. The centre island is in lat. 24 24'
N. long. 51° 34' 50" E. These islands are safe to approach to five or
six fathoms distant in all directions.
