Excerpt from A Week in the Isles of Scilly: Revised and Rewritten
Our first excursion shall be to Sampson and Bryher. Steering across the Road in a Westerly course, for the former of these islands, we pass at a distance of three quarters of a mile from it and about the same distance from Tresco, the conspicuous Nut Rock, the mark for pilots bringing vessels to the'{ main anchorage. Those two hills before you, to the most Southerly of which we will direct our boat, are the Isle of Sampson. You will find a convenient landing-place on the Eastern side of the island.
Two or three writers have supposed that Sampson and Bryher were formerly united, and have referred to some doubtful evidence in support of the hypothesis. The depth of water between the two islands makes the suggestion wholly improbable. Sampson may have been united at one time to Tresco, as it is possible at low water to wade, from one island to the other and for a similar reason Tresco, may have been joined to Bryher.
