Hatteras, CAPE, a low point of North Carolina, forming part of a sandbank, in 35° 15' N. lat. and 75° 31' W. long. The coast-line here turns from the direction of north-east to that of due north; violent storms are frequent and render navigation dangerous, and the island is marked by a light raised 190 feet above the sea.
