 shelter from onshore winds. The northwestern entrance point is 

 foul for 150 3'ards off it. 



Famishgut island, about 50 feet high, lies 300 yards off the 

 northwestern head. A shoal, with 12 feet of water on it, bears 290°, 

 distant 870 yards from the western point of the island.

Trinny Cove islands front the shore of Placentia bay between 

 Bald head and Famishgut. and lie westward from Famishgut; the 

 rock and shoals about the islands are very numerous, and there is 

 no passage among them. The northern and most conspicuous, 

 Grassy island, is flat and covered with grass. Toward the southern 

 end of the group is Stone island, an isolated white rock, 30 feet high, 

 200 yards square, lying 1^ miles northward of Brine islands. 



A patch of 11 feet lies with the northeastern point of Trinny 

 cove bearing about 82°, distant l^V miles. 



The bank on which these islands and shoals lie falls suddenly on 

 its western side, the depth increasing from 30 to 60 fathoms in ^ mile. 



Directions. — Keep Fox island open westward of Ram islands, 

 bearing 182° to pass westward of all these shoals; in foggy weather, 

 do not stand in to a depth less than 60 fathoms. It is not advisable to 

 take the passage eastward of the group without local knowledge. 



The shore of the bay from Famishgut point trends north-north- 

 eastward, with deep coves and wooded hummocks 300 to 395 feet high,
