98 NOKTH ATLANTIC COAST FISHERIES ARBITRATION. 



Contracting Parties the following rules and method of procedure for deter- 

 mining the limits of the bays hereinbefore enumerated: 



1. In every bay not hereinafter specifically provided for the limits of 

 exclusion shall be drawn three miles seaward from a straight line across 

 the bay in the part nearest the entrance at the first point where the width 

 does not exceed ten miles. 



2. In the following bays, where the configuration of the coast and the 



local climatic conditions are such that foreign fishermen, when within 

 125 the geographic headlands, might reasonably and bona fide believe 

 themselves on the high seas, the limits of exclusion shall be drawn in 

 each case between the headlands hereinafter specified as being those at and 

 within which such fishermen might be reasonably expected to recognise the 

 bay under average conditions. 



For the Bale des Chaleurs the line from the light at Birch Point on Miscou 

 Island to Macquereau Point Light; for the Bay of Miramichi, the line from, 

 the light at Point Escuminac to the light on the eastern point of Tabisintac 

 Gully; for Egmont Bay, in Prince Edward Island, the line from the light 

 at Cape Egmont to the light at West Point; and off St. Ann's Bay, in the 

 province of Nova Scotia, the line from the light at Point Anconi to the 

 nearest point on the opposite shore of the mainland. 



For Fortune Bay, in Newfoundland, the line from Connaigre Head to 

 the light on the southeasterly end of Brunet Island, thence to Fortune Head. 



For or near the following bays the limits of exclusion shall be three 

 marine miles seawards from the following lines, namely: 



For or near Barrington Bay, in Nova Scotia, the line from the light on 

 Stoddart Island to the light on the south point of Cape Sable, thence 

 to the light at Baccaro Point; at Chedabucto and St. Peter's Bays, the line 

 from Cranberry Island light to Green Island light, thence to Point Rouge; 

 for Mira Bay, the line from the light on the east point of Scatari Island to 

 the northeasterly point of Cape Morien; and at Placentia Bay, in New- 

 foundland, the line from Latine Point, on the eastern mainland shore, to the 

 most southerly point of Red Island, thence by the most southerly point of 

 Merasheen Island to the mainland. 



Long Island and Bryer Island on St. Mai-y's Bay, in Nova Scotia, shall, 

 for the purpose of delimitation, be taken as the coasts of such bays. 



It is understood that nothing in these rules refers either to the Bay of 

 Fundy considered as a whole apart from its bays and creeks or as to the 

 innocent passage through the Gut of Canso, which were excluded by the 

 agreement made by exchange of notes between Mr. Bacon and Mr. Bryce, 

 dated February 21st, 1909, and March 4th, 1909; or to Conception Bay, 

 which was provided for by the decision of the Privy Council in the case 

 of the Direct United States Cable Company v. the Anglo-American Tele- 

 graph Company, in which decision the United States have acquiesced. 



Question VI. 



Have the inhabitants of the United States the liberty under the 

 said article or otherwise, to take fish in the bays, harbours, and 

 creeks on that part of the southern coast of Newfoundland which 

 extends from Cape Eay to Rameau Islands, or on the western and 

 nortl ■ rn coasts of Newfoundland from Cape Ray to Quirpon Islands, 

 or on the Magdalen Islands?
