(Alice Hoffman) Lane'; thence continuing same course 203.7 feet to a concrete monument at the high water mark of Bogue Sound (Wica Chemical Company northwest corner); thence continuing North 03 degrees 35 minutes West 1350 feet to a point in Bogue Sound; then in a westerly direction parallel to and 1320 feet from the water line of Bogue Sound to a point in Bogue Sound formed by the intersection of this call and a line perpendicular thereto passing through the westernmost projection of Bogue banks at the mean high water mark; thence southerly along said line as extended to a point where said line meets the high water line of the Atlantic Ocean; thence due South 2640 feet to a point in the Atlantic Ocean; thence in an easterly direction parallel to and 2640 feet from the high water line of the Atlantic Ocean to a point which is 2640 feet South 03 degrees 35 minutes East from the concrete monument which is heretofore described as the point of the beginning; thence continuing North 03 degrees 35 minutes West 2640 feet to the point of beginning. All the above courses are based on true meridian.
