370 APPENDIX TO BRITISH CASE. 



The effect of this, is thus singularly felt. A boat leaving Neguac 

 to ascend the Miramichi, with the flood tide, is absolutely met by 

 the tide flowing northerly against it, until coming abreast of the 

 Horse-shoe Shoal, or in the line of the main entrance; and a boat 

 at the Horse Shoe Shoal, steering for Neguac, with the ebb-tide 

 making, would have the current against it, though Neguac is on a 

 line, as far sea-ward, as the entrance to the Portage and Fox 

 Islands thus shewing conclusively, that the main inlet, and outlet, 

 of the tidal waters to and from the mouth, or entrance, of the 

 Miramichi, is between Portage and Fox Islands. 



As such Arbitrator or Umpire, I decide, that a line connecting Fox 

 and Portage Islands, (marked in red, plan, No. 2, Record Book, 

 No. 2.) designates the mouth of the Miramichi River.
