108 CAPE RACE TO CREW POINT. 



Little Harbor island, situated northwestward, 1 mile from Pinch- 

 gut point, is 43 feet high and flat-topped; low rocks extend west- 

 southwestward for ^ mile from the island, the western being awash at 

 high water. 



Large vessels should not pass between Little Harbor island and the 

 mainland. 



Allen shoal, bearing 226°, distant 1,200 yards from Little Harbor 

 island, has 10 feet water over it and is steep-to except on the southern 

 side. 



Big" sunker, a rocky patch 300 yards across, with three heads, the 

 shoalest with 1 foot of water on it, lies 800 yards northwest by west 

 from Little Harbor island. Between this shoal and Brennan point 

 on the mainland are two shoals of 4 fathoms of water. 



Brennan point, nearly IJ miles from Pinchgut point, is the turn- 

 ing point of land under the high range over Great Pinchgut, the 

 summit of which, 675 feet high, makes as a square hummock from the 

 southward, while the coast range is flat. Off the point there is a 

 group of low rocks, the northern of which is 4 feet high. 



Little harbor, suitable only for small craft, is situated north- 

 eastward 1^ miles from Brennan point. The passage into the har- 

 bor is 50 3'ards wide ; but only 12 feet can be carried in at low water, 

 and mid-channel must be kept to clear rocks on either hand. An- 

 chorage may be had between the first fishing stages or immediately 

 they are passed, for the water shoals suddenly at the inner stages. 



Sails island, 20 feet high, lies northward 1,200 yards from Little 

 harbor and close to the mainland. An islet 8 feet high. Avith a rocky 

 spit westward of it, lies close westward of Sails island. 



Sly boots, a rock with 5 feet of water over it. bears 240°. distant 

 1,050 yards from Sails island. 



Clearing mark. — The summit of Butler head, open westward of 

 Woody island, bearing 355°. leads nearly 400 yards westward of this 

 rock. 



Little Harbor head, 750 yards from Sails island, is a point 

 sloping from a round wooded hillock 125 feet high, and is bold-to all 

 around. 



Island Cove head, 3 miles northward of Little Harbor island, 

 is a perpendicular cliff 75 feet high, backed by a wooded hummock 

 that is conspicuous from the southward. 



La Manche, a cove f mile deep and ^ mile broad, lies north- 

 northeastward of Island Cove head. The land in this locality con- 

 sists of high barren ranges, the culminating point, over the head of 

 La Manche, being surmounted by a cairn 615 feet above the sea. 



On the peninsula forming the western shore, the hills are 230 feet 

 high in the background, gradually decreasing in height, in a series 

 of hummocks to the point. Intersecting these hills are numerous
