JAFFATEEN ISLANDS, the name of four islands in the Red sea, visited by Mr Bruce in his travels. They are joined together by shoals or sunk rocks; are crooked or bent like half a bow; and are dangerous for ships in the night-time, because there seems to be a passage between them, to which, while the pilots are paying attention, they neglect two small sunk rocks which lie almost in the middle of the entrance in deep water.
