Reading an ArcGIS raster file

Dear members,

how can i read and plot an ArcGis raster file? The .aux file contains floating point bathymetry values. I have managed to read and plot a shoreline 
using rgdal, maptools and PBSmapping, but I am stuck now. Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Juliane
