90 CAPE EACE TO CREW POINT. 



moderate weather boats can land in Arnold cove, about f mile west- 

 ward of the cape, or in a cove 600 yards northeastward. There is a 

 good road from the lighthouse to Meadow bank on the northwestern 

 side of Trepassey harbor. 



Light. — A cylindrical lighthouse, 56 feet high and painted red 

 and white in horizontal bands, on cape Pine, exhibits, at 314 feet 

 above high water, a white fixed light, which should be seen between 

 the bearings 230° and 106°, through 0°, a distance in clear weather 

 of 24 miles. Cape Freels, situated westward 1 mile from cape 

 Pine, being low, the light is seen over it, and is not obscured by the 

 intervening land until on a bearing 106°. The keeper's dwelling is 

 connected to the lighthouse by a covered way. 



Sig'nals. — The lighthouse is supplied with the International code 

 of signals. 



Henry rock, situated with Cape Pine lighthouse bearing 11°, 

 distant 2jV miles, is a small patch with 8 fathoms water over it. 



Freels rock, lying 235°, distant 3 miles from Cape Pine light- 

 house, is small, with 3 fathoms water on it; there is a clear channel 

 between the rock and the cape, with 9 to 12 fathoms water. 



Clearing" marks. — Powles head lighthouse, well open southward 

 of Cape Pine lighthouse, bearing 48°, leads southeastward of Freels 

 rock, and Gull island point, open of St. Shots Western head, bearing 

 346°, leads westward of it. 



St. Shots cove, west northwestward 3 miles from cape Pine, 

 formed between Eastern and Western heads, is quite open; a few 

 families reside on its eastern shore, and they are always ready to 

 assist shipwrecked mariners. 



Caution. — Many shipwrecks have taken place in the vicinity of 

 St. Shots cove, principally on Eastern head, from which a ledge of 

 slate rocks extends south-southwestward 200 yards. In most cases 

 these wrecks have occurred during foggy weather from neglect to 

 use the lead, and want of attention to the currents. (See pages 

 52, 54.) 



St. Marys bay. — The entrance to St. Marys bay is about 20 

 miles wide between AVestern head of St. Shots cove and Lance point, 

 the southern end of the headland separating St. Marys and Placentia 

 bays; the bay runs in north-northeastward about 25 miles and con- 

 tains several good harbors and numerous coves between headlands. 



Both the eastern and western shores of the bay are generally bold 

 and backed by hills from 120 to 500 feet high. 



Sahnonier river, Colinet, and North harbors are at the head of the 

 bay, where fog is much less frequent and the climate is much finer 

 than at the entrance. 



The land, when brought under cultivation, is well adapted for 

 pasture or for the growth of potatoes and the hardier cereals.
