 point. The shore then trends north-northwestward, with several 

 rocks near it, round HoUett's cove, which is 600 yards wide, and 400 

 yards deep. A reef that dries at low water, with sunken rocks at its 

 end, extends 250 yards south-southeastward from the southwestern 

 entrance point of this cove. 



Southern head, a wooded promontory 125 feet high, projects a 

 short distance from the shore line, at f mile northwestward of Come 

 by Chance point. The shore from this to North harbor is fringed 

 by small islets and sunken rocks and must not be approached nearer 

 than 300 yards. 



North harbor. — South point of North harbor is situated If miles 

 northwest from Come by Chance point; the 1i arbor extends 4^ miles 

 northward, and is nearly 1 mile wide at the entrance. 



Rocks, that almost cover at high water, lie close to the eastern 

 shore 800 yards northward of South point. 



Emberley point, 700 yards farther northward, has a white house 

 on it. 



A cove to the eastward of Emberley point, surrounded by rocks 

 that extend 200 yards from the beach, affords good anchorage in a 

 general depth of 5^ fathoms, except with winds from south -south- 

 west to west-southwest.

 and off the northern entrance point of this cove, is 70 feet high and 

 composed of gray rocks covered by wood, and sunken rocks extend 

 south-southwestwarcl 300 yards from it. Northward of this island 

 shoal water extends 200 yards from the shore and several rocks, some 

 of which cover, lie within that distance. The highest of these, Charley 

 rock, is 9 feet above high water, and lies nearly midway between the 

 island and the head of the harbor. 



The west shore of North harbor may be approached to 100 yards, 

 except in the coves. 



Jigging cove lies on the western shore, nearly 2 miles from the 

 entrance, and is shallow to the mouth. 



Goose island, about 40 feet high, wooded and flat, forms the 

 north entrance point of Jigging cove, and separates it from Goose 

 cove, also shallow to the line of the outer points. A rock lies a short 

 distance from the south extreme of Goose island.
