By the South of the Chico Bank.
1. From 3 fathoms in the outer roads, steer E. by S. as before, until you have 6 fathoms off Ensenada.
Before you lose sight of the town of Quilmes, you can see Point Lara, which is easily known by a grove on the side of the river.
S.E. of Point Lara, there is a large ombu tree on Mr. Wright’s stancia, distant about 2½ miles.
E.S.E. of Point Lara is the Point and Mount of Santiago, easily seen at the distance of 7 miles.
2. Having passed the bank of Ensenada, which runs out about 5 miles from Point Lara to the N.E. by N. steer S.E. by compass, until you find yourself 5 or 6 miles from land.
3. When 5 or 6 miles from land, steer E.S.E. by compass, to keep along the shore.
Before you lose sight of Point Santiago, you will see the ombu tree of the Balandra to the E.S.E. distant about 14 miles, and is one of those nearest the river.
From this ombu, the N.W. point of the Chico Bank bears N. 30° E. Keeping an E.S.E. course, after you have run a short distance, you will see Point Atalaya, resembling two mounts. Keeping still on the same course, you will see many ombu trees; and when you have run about six miles, you will see a large grove of them, where lies the town of Magdalene. The church of Magdalene is easily discovered, having two steeples, the largest at the east.
From this church, the S.W. point of the Chico Bank bears N. 15° E. by the compass.
