As one stands on Saipan looking south, moreover, the
rising of the constellation "Triggerfish" (Crux) lies
almost directly over Magur, and its setting is fairly close
to the bearing for Fais. On sailing south from Guam and
Saipan, a navigator knows that, if he stays within the
rising and setting of Crux, he will end up in the heart of
the Caroline chain, with its many reefs, shoals, and other
seamarks of which he has knowledge.
