West-Barrows.

The West-Barrows is the South-west part of the whole Barrows-sand, there being some Swatches two third parts down to the North-eastwards that divides this Sand, which makes it to be called the East and West-Barrows. That part which is called the West-Bar∣rows, begins at the North-east end of the Mouse, and lyeth down N. E. and S. W. it falls dry in several places at low water, and is steep too on both sides; on the South-east side there is seven and eight fathom close to the Sand; but on the North-west side, you have 10, 11, and 12 fathom close to it. This Sand is in length 6 or 7 miles, and betwixt it and the Shivering-sand, you have in the middle 9, 10, and 11 fathom; this Sand dries in several places. Amongst all these Sands it flows South by East.
