which afTord some shelter for boats. There are several huts on the 

 narrow foreshore under the low cliff, that here recedes a little. 



Table cove, f mile northward of Belvans cove, is a shallow bay with 

 a stony beach, but it affords no shelter. There are a few huts on the 

 beach. 



Deer cove [Lat. 50 23' 30" K, Long. 57 31' 15" W.], H miles 

 from Table point, is a small break in the rocks. 



La Fontaine point [Lat. 50 28' 30" N., Long. 57 28' 15"' W.] is 

 about 7 miles from Table point. 



Bad lay (formerly Mall bay) [Lat. 50 32' 15" N., Long. 57 23' 

 30" W.]. The shore from la Fontaine point trends northeastward 

 for 4f miles, and then turns northward for 2J miles to Burntwood 

 point. Bad bay, which may be said to lie between these points, is 

 completely open, and affords no shelter. 



With strong northerly and westerly winds this shore is unapproach- 

 able, owing to the heavy sea. There is a small settlement in the bay 

 at | mile southward of the river entrance, and a few houses just inside 

 the bar. 



The shore between Ponds river and Burntwood point is a rough, 

 stony beach with a grassy bank behind it. 



Kloulement point (locally Spirity point), the southern entrance 

 point of Ingornachoix bay, lies north-northeastward, 2 miles from 

 Burntwood point. 



Ingornachoix lay [Lat. 50 40' 00" N., Long. 57 22' 00" W.], 

 the entrance to which is between Eboulement and Rich points, which 

 are distant 6 miles from each other in a northerly and southerly direc- 

 tion, extends 3 miles eastward of the line joining the entrance points, 

 and is quite open. The entrances to Hawke harbor and bay, Keppel 

 harbor, and port Saunders are in the southeastern part of the bay. 



Keppel island [Lat. 50 37' 50" N., Long. 57 19' 00" W.], north- 

 eastward, distant 2^ miles from Eboulement point, and at the head 

 of the bay off the entrances to Hawke and Keppel harbors and port 

 Saunders, is about 1 mile long in an easterly and westerly direction, 

 with a greatest width of mile; its coasts are steep-to, but Morue spit, 

 shingle-covered at high water, extends eastward \ mile from Grass 

 point, the eastern end of the island. The northwestern end of the 

 island is a blackish cliff. 



Light [Lat. 50 38' 00" N., Long. 57 18' 50" W.]. A square py- 

 ramidal lighthouse, 23 feet high, surmounted by an octagonal drum and 

 lantern, and painted red and white in horizontal bands, on the north- 

 western point of Keppel island, exhibits, at 107 feet above high water, 

 a fixed white light that should be seen from a distance of 14 miles in 

 clear weather. 



Hawke harlor entrance is between Keppel island and a low wooded 

 point 1,600 yards eastward of Hawke point. 



The harbor is between Hawke flat and the shore southeastward of 

 it,*on the southwest, and the peninsula, on the northeast; it is 1| miles 

 long in a northwesterly and southeasterly direction, and from 400 to 

 700 yards wide, with depths of 7 to 18 fathoms. 



Il'awke bay is inside of and to the eastward of the harbor and 

 extends east-northeastward, 4 miles from Robinson island, with an 

 average width of 1J miles. The southern shore from southward of 

 Robinson island trends somewhat northward of eastward for 1,300 

 yards to Ourson point, off which shoals lie nearly 600 yards distant,
