a narrow strip of land, about two miles long, separated from Bombay in the East Indies by an arm of the sea, which, however, is passable at low water. It terminates at one extremity in a small eminence, on which a look-out house is kept for vessels. Near the middle are three tombs kept constantly white as land-marks into the harbour. From the end of the island a dangerous ledge of rocks floats forth, which are not very easily cleared. It produces only pasture for a few cattle.
