120 CAPE RACE TO CREW POINT. 



shore of the island, just below the summit; off the north entrance 

 point of the cove is a small islet with a sunken rock near it. 



Cross rocks, 12 feet high, bear 284°, distant nearly 200 yards from 

 the northern entrance point of this cove and they are surrounded by 

 sunken rocks. A shoal with 15 feet water on it bears 191°, distant 

 100 yards from these rocks, and a bank, with less than 10 fathoms, 

 extends 250 yards farther in the same direction. 



The coast of Burgeo island, near its northern end, curves into, a 

 small cove, surrounded by a beach of shingle, between low points of 

 cliffs, and fronted by Vigors island. The wharf, stores, houses, and 

 flagstaff of a small trading establishment stand on the shores of this 

 cove, and there is good anchorage for small vessels off the wharf in 

 14 fathoms water. 



Vigors island, with a flat, wooded summit about 120 feet high, falls 

 in steep cliffs on all sides but the north, where a grassj^ point, fringed 

 by bowlders and shoal water, extends 100 yards. Vigors island should 

 not be approached nearer than 200 yards on the north side. The 

 channel between the northeastern end of this island and Burgeo 

 island is not quite 200 yards wide; on its eastern side is a square islet, 

 off which lies a sunken rock. 



Communication. — The steamer from Placentia calls at Burgeo 

 island weekly. 



White isla,nds are a group occupying a space If-^j miles long and 

 nearly ^ mile broad, lying 2 miles southeastward of Burgeo island, 

 the channel between deepening to 151 fathoms. There are three large 

 islands, several smaller islands, and many rocks. 



Greens island, near the northern end of the group, is 110 feet 

 high, round, and covered with stunted trees, interspersed with grass 

 over gray rock. From the south side of the island rocks and shoals 

 extend for 400 yards, the highest being a square islet about 40 feet 

 high, off which are two rocks. A small rock lies close to the north 

 extreme of the island, and a large shoal extends northwest of the 

 chain of rocks south of Greens island. 



Gooseberry island, 200 yards northwestward of Greens island, 

 is about 40 feet high, flat, and covered with grass over reddish-gray 

 rock. Sunken rocks extend 200 yards from the west extreme. 



Deepwater bank, with 7 fathoms water, bears 16°, distant 800 

 yards fi'om Gooseberry island, and Rock of the Bank, with the 'same 

 depth, bears 93°. distant 1,400 yards from Greens island. 



Stearin rocks are the cluster next southwest of Greens island; 

 they are nearly connected at low water, and occupy a space 200 yards 

 in diameter. 



A reef, with two heads that just dry at low water, bears 112°, 

 distant 250 vards from the hiohest of these rocks.
