Remarks ( Copied as written) 

The town of Akyat is situated at about 8 miles up the Aracan River on the north bank. There is a tolerable amount of trade in rice and butternut. There are very few houses to be seen from the anchorage.  On the charts a light is placed on Borongo island but it is no longer inhabited. The Savage Island light appears to be a revolving one but on the charts it is a fixed one. On making for the entrance generally steer for Tableland on an easterly course until Savage Islands Light bears about north. The buoy on the south end should  of shoal is shifted further to the north than what it is on the chart. A miserable light has shown for two to three years on Summit table land. The clearance for all lighthouses which we could see with what appears to be ruins of a lighthouse. This land may be seen at a great distance. The least water on the bar is 18 feet and the deepest water is with the Savage Island light bearing about NNE
