having a bight in them between these points, which has from seven to'
four fathoms in it. Two other detached banks lie to the north of
Zabopt, distant five and a half miles, having narrow channels, with from
three to four fathoms between them. Between these banks and Seer

bight in safety. The western side of Seer Beniyas may also be approach
