The Oaze-edge is a Sand that lies to the northward of the Red-sand, and lies E.N.E. and W.S.W. contain∣ing about 4 miles in length, and half a mile in breadth. The Channel betwixt this and the Red-sand, is in some part more, and in some less then a mile broad: The South side of this Sand is steep too, and the deepest part in the Channel is nine and ten fathom. At the West end of it lies a Buoy, and bears North by East from the Lands-end,
(on the North-east of Sheppy) then Mouse-hole Church is open to the Eastward of the said Lands-end; from this Buoy to the Buoy of the Nower, the Course is West, a quarter South, about five miles.
