110 CAPE EACE TO CREW POINT. 



isthmus 200 yards broad, nearly covered by a pond. The harbor ex- 

 tends northward 3^ miles from Butler head and contains some islands; 

 the shores are steep-to, sloping from wooded ranges; and at the head 

 is Big pond faced by a shingle beach, with a narrow channel passable 

 by boats into the pond. 



Duck island, 56 feet high, lies nearly ^ mile northward from 

 Butler head, which is on the western side of the peninsula forming 

 the northwestern side of Little Southern harbor. A rock, that covers 

 6 feet, with another sunken rock close-to, bears 189°, distant nearly 

 400 yards from Seal islet (43 feet high), in the passage between 

 Duck island and the mainland, and 400 yards from the latter. Duck 

 island therefore should be closed when taking this channel. 



Anchorag'e may be obtained at the head of Great Southern har- 

 bor in 5 to 9 fathoms -water, but it is completely open and the holding 

 ground is bad. The best berth is in 5^ fathoms, southward of 

 Tommy Sharp rock, an islet 6 feet high, joined to the peninsula on 

 the northwestern side of the harbor. 



Goose island, 81 feet high, is a square grass-topped rock, faced 

 by black cliffs, and separated by a channel, a little more than 200 

 yards wide and with 3f fathoms water, from the peninsula dividing 

 Great Southern harbor from Arnold cove. 



Arnold cove, which is just Avestward of Great Southern harbor, 

 contains good anchorage, in 3^ to 5 fathoms water, for small vessels, 

 sheltered from all winds; and for large vessels, in 5 to 7 fathoms, 

 with shelter from all except southerly to westerly winds. The east- 

 ern shore is rugged, sloping from a wooded cone 130 feet high; the 

 western shore is fringed by rocks that extend 200 yards from it. 



Round rock, 6 feet high, and the furthest rock offshore, bears 

 94°, distant 400 yards from Adams head. 



Adams head, 104 feet high, is a flat-topped barren mound near 

 the southwestern end of the northwestern shore of Arnold cove, with 

 Adams house, a two-storied dwelling, at its base; this house is con- 

 spicuous from all parts of the head of Placentia haj. 



Bordeaux island, 138 feet high, wooded and bluff, is separated 

 from the mainland b}' Bordeaux gut, a narrow passage with water 

 enough for fishing boats at low water. A remarkable quartz vein 

 runs down the cliffs near the southwestern point of the island. 



Come by Chance bay, the entrance of which is 2 miles north- 

 ward from Bordeaux island, affords anchorage in depths of 16 

 fathoms and less, the former depth being 1 mile within the entrance 

 to the bay. 



Jonathan lookout, a conspicuous isolated cone, 712 feet high, 

 bears 3°, distant 5^ miles from Come by Chance point, the western 

 entrance point of Come by Chance bay.
