94 CAPE RACE TO CREW POINT. 



Half island in T fathoms water, mud bottom ; this position is the best

Tides. — It is high water, full and change, in Colinet harbor at 

 8h. Om. ; springs rose 7^ feet, neaps 5 feet. 



North harbor. — The entrance to North harbor is 2 miles north 

 of Little Colinet island. The harbor, which extends north-north-

 it is open to the prevailing southwesterly winds, and therefore can
