Dear Jeff,
 
I am afraid that we do not have this particular chart in our
collection, but I have been able to find a reference to chart
that could be the one you are looking for in an old _Catalogue
of Admiralty Charts, Plans, and Sailing Directions_, published
in 1908. Chart 1508, based on surveys between 1875 and 1894 is
entitled:
 
 _Anchorages in New Hebrides Islands:-Port Resolution. Lisburn
anchorage. Lenakel (Sangalie) anchorage. Walurigi anchorage.
Dundui anchorage. South-west bay. Wei sisi bay. Steep Cliff bay.
Cliff bay and Barree bay. Betrara anchorage._ Various scales and
authorities. 20 x 27 inches. With large corrections to August
1906 and small corractions to November 1906.
 
I hope this may be of some help. The Librarian of the British
Hydrographic Office based in Taunton in Somerset, may be able to
assist you further in identifying the particular chart you
referring to.
 
Yours sincerely,
 
Christopher Fleet
Assistant Map Curator
