To the Editor of the Singapore Free Press. (Ship " William Gillies,"Singapore,Oet. 19,1844) Sir,— l beg to ofter jon a few remarks on tlit; position of the Pulo Lozins which has so long laid in obscurity mid doubt, and which for the information of my nautical biethren, I trust >ou will publibh. On my passage from Siam to this place, Oct. 2> lSil, baw from the deck at 8 a. m., a small rock he«iingS E. b) S. \ 8. and another considetahly higher and more extensive beating S. W. by S. £S., which must be llie two Pulo Lozins or Cosyns, which aie mentioned in a foot note in the third lid. vol. ii. p. 257 of Hoisbnrgh's India JJnectoiv, as seen by (he Fermosa, in IG7O. Same time, tacked ship, and sounded in 29 fa•llion.s, mud bottom. At 9a. m. lost sight of the west lock; at noon, the east rock boieS. % W. distant about two miles ; sounded in 29| fathoms, sfiine bottom, latitude obseived at noon, 7° 1930" N. longitude, carried on from its bearing iit 8 il.i 1 . m. when sights weie taken for the chionoinelers, together u itli us bearing and estimated distance at noon, places this dangerous rock in hit 7"* 17' 30" N. lonjr., l 0l a 59* 46" £. of Green w ich, or 1 ° 25' 30', \L. of the entrance cf Si:un river, \\ hich I found by many observations t.iken dm ing my seventy dajs stay theie to be in long. 100 c 3 i' 15" E. The lock above alluded to is of small size, considerably less than Pedia Ifsanca, which la»s in the eastern entrance of Singapore Sfmif, .and may be scon from the deck nj cle.ir « eatlicr (i or 7 miles oil". «M*m I am sorry that circumstance preventefrnj* ftom nsi-ei laming -Ihe tuie )>osition of the west rock hm I would suppose itbore from the former aliout W by S , distance about twelve or fourteen miles ; tlns'however is mere conjecture, although it cannot be far fiom the truth. Ihe position of the e«st lockmav be firmly relied on, as 1 had many opportunities of pioviiiii the rates o I my chionomcterfi afSiam, which did not differ any fiom th.it found bj the time ball at Bombay in M.i\ last, and which was 6iibse<|uently proved by the loiig. of the numerous islands on tl.elWalay co.tst, as laid down by Iloisburgh, and confirmed b) otheis Thomas Clark, Commander of the Ship "William Gillies."
