Twitcher Rock from the NNE: bearing 198°, distant 3 cables. g. From the S, showing Ferguson Bay in the centre. Herd Point is on the left side of the bay; on the right is Twitcher Rock and part of Cook Island. a soft crumbling black rock, perhaps volcanic ash, at the summit. The steepest cliffs are on the eastern side facing Douglas Strait, and the rocks here closely resemble those opposite on Cook Island. They consist of contorted masses of red, yellow and dark brown, with intrusive grey dykes, the colours showing vividly when lit by a rare gleam of sunshine. In 1911 a landing was effected in Ferguson Bay by members of a whaling expedition
